Chapter 71

Zhuo Yan didn't sleep well last night. There was a bit of tide in this cave, and there was also a smell. It was also close to the river, and the stream made a splashing noise. Maybe he had changed places. Anyway, he fell asleep very late, or Ah Yin held him in her arms before falling asleep.

The next day I got up early again.

Mainly because I couldn't sleep.

Fortunately, I'm in good spirits.

Zhuo Yan got up and Ah Yin followed suit. He looked around and saw that everyone was still sleeping. Zhuo Yan took a piece of dried bubble leaf and Ah Yin went to the river to clean. The bubble leaves were not picked at their doorstep, but they were picked up from time to time on the way out. As they went south, the leaves disappeared.

Fortunately, they gathered a lot.

The two of them went out, and downstream of the stream, the stones were actually washing the rattan basket. Zhuo Yan called Shitou in a low voice and greeted the two, "You got up so early?"

"I can't sleep." Shitou's basket was almost washed.

Zhuo Yan nodded, "I can't sleep either." It was damp and noisy here -

"I'm so excited that I can't sleep, Zhuo Yan!" Shitou said happily.

Zhuo Yan: ...It seems that they can't sleep for different reasons. Shitou couldn't help but look at Shitou with a smile, and asked jokingly: "Are you excited to change your skirt, or are you excited to see Boss Kong."

"Hey, it's both." Shitou was not reserved, "He is really good-looking."

Zhuo Yan: It's just a joke . .

"You can just put on the necklace and hang it out at Boss Kong's place every day."

"No, I'm afraid it'll be damaged." Shitou's upper body was empty.

"If it's broken, let Boss Kong fix it." Zhuo Yan saw Shitou's expression showing embarrassment, and couldn't help but said seriously: "We are not trying to trick Boss Kong, we are just looking for excuses to let you get along with him more, don't you want?"

Shitou decisively agreed this time. He wants to take the rattan basket to dry it.

Zhuo Yan said: "Ah Yin is carrying two small baskets this time. You can put your things on the small one." Yesterday, the lion man took away the salt and the baskets.

Otherwise, are you coming back today?

"I know." Shitou found a tree and hung his rattan basket on the treetop. After cleaning it, he went back to put on the necklace.

Zhuo Yan and A Yin finished washing up by the river, and their friends got up one after another. He had just mentioned the basket brought by the lion man in the morning, and it didn't take long for the lion man sub-orc man to deliver it, and also brought some Red berries.

This is good stuff. Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up.

The lion-man sub-orc was a few years older, and he smiled happily when he saw this, "I knew you would like it. Yesterday the clan leader said that you leopard-men had four sub-orcs, and only two orcs. They orcs like to eat meat. You guys ate a lot of barbecue along the way. This berry is very sweet."

"Thank you, I like it so much." Zhuo Yan didn't accept it politely, "My name is Zhuo Yan, sister, what's your name?

" "

The two exchanged names, and Zhuo Yan also introduced his companions, but Xia Shu couldn't remember them all. It was the same with everyone. Zhuo Yan said with a smile, "Don't worry, anyway, our two clans will often visit each other in the future, and I will definitely remember them."

Xia Shu was very happy, hummed, and said: "If I encounter something to eat, I will bring it to you."

Zhuo Yan refused this time, but explained clearly: "Yesterday we discussed with the tiger people that our orcs would Let's go hunting together and bring back the meat and grill it ourselves. The four of us sub-orcs eat a lot, and we don't want to eat separately at each house in the Feathered Market, so we usually eat whatever we have. Sister Xia Shu, you don't have to give it to us. I've brought food."

"Okay." Xia Shu nodded and was about to leave, but stayed and said, "This is your first time at the Yuren Market. Don't go to the Yingren stall. They are very bad.

" Zhuo Yan said seriously, thanking the other party for the reminder.

After Xia Shu left, Xiao Xian and others also finished cleaning. The stones were replaced with beautiful necklaces. They didn't have many things, so they simply carried them on their backs. A Man and Xiao Xian wanted to continue shopping today to see if they could Change something.

They first sent the stones to Boss Kong.

Along the way, Zhuo Yan used his rich experience in novels and TV series to tell Shi Shi: "When you go over, if he says he dislikes you, just pretend you don't understand. Anyway, if he doesn't drive you away, you won't leave. Why don't you leave?" He helps with the work and so on."

"I know how to work!" Shitou said.

Aman Xiaoxian nodded. The two of them thought they were going to work and change their skirts. One of them said: "Shitou works very neatly." The other said: "If you can't do it in one day, you can work for a few more days."

"Okay, I understand." Stone is very happy.

They walked for about twenty minutes from the cave where the four tribes rested temporarily to the market. They walked very fast and finally saw the shadow of the market. The market was a single street with eight shops. The shop is easy to distinguish, and the location is not very central, which is what they encountered when they came here.

There was no one at the door. The two doors of the shop were closed, and the feathers of the eagle man were hung at the door.

"Did you see that?" Zhuo Yan said: "When people close their doors, they don't care whether this small shop exchanges goods or not."

Because the Yingren are confident and hold on to salt, they are not willing to do any small trinkets.

The Yingren's store is mediocre, its location and size are not outstanding. It seems that the Yingren clan was not the only one in the past. Then came the Yanren Clan. The Yanren Clan had two shops, seven or eight meters away from Yingren's shop.

There were two shops next to each other, both very small, about ten square meters. One was closed, and the other was open. When the door opened, there was an old female feathered man standing at the door. When she saw them passing by, she smiled at them.

Zhuo Yan smiled politely and nodded as a greeting.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, why are the Yanren clan closed and others open?"

"Maybe there are conflicts within the clan." Zhuo Yan casually guessed, using an analogy: "If a few of us were putting things out, you wouldn't have called me when you got up early. Do you want to do it by yourself, or should we all do it together?"

When Aman thought about this, he was very happy, "What should we sell?" After asking, he added: "Then we must occupy a place together, otherwise the five of us can talk for a whole day. How boring."

"That's right. Now that we're on good terms, of course you call me and I call you." They all work together by the river. Zhuo Yan said: "Not to mention that in the market, they are the same clan. One closes the door like the Yingren, and the other opens the door and smiles at us in a friendly manner."

Xiao Xian nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and turned to look over again, "That old man is really "Smile with me."

"You want to go take a look." Zhuo Yan said.

Xiao Xian said: "Don't deal with the Yan and Tiger people..."

"First of all, we are the Leopard people, we are not affiliated with anyone. Secondly, Xiao Xian, every clan has bad people and good people. We just ignore the Eagle people. Okay." You still have to show your attitude.

There are four other shops, the largest one belongs to the Peacock Clan - there is only one shop, and three to five meters away is the Diao Clan's shop. The Diao Clan has two smaller ones, the doors are both open, and there are eagle cubs at the door. While playing, the last room is the Golden Head Clan.

When we arrived at Boss Kong's garden shop, the flowers were still very beautiful, with some dew on them. They looked fresh and beautiful, but Zhuo Yan thought, is there dew in the morning in summer?

When I entered, I saw Mr. Kong Xingxing, Mr. Kong Xingxing, holding a bamboo tube, taking a sip of water, then puffing up his cheeks and spraying it on the flowers like a showerhead -

Zhuo Yan: ...

Kong Xingxing saw the person coming, and after he finished squirting the water, My pupils were shaking, and I coughed and coughed for a long time.

His image!

Why did these sub-orcs from the leopard tribe come so early!

They had already met in pairs. It would be too false to pretend not to see it now. Zhuo Yan smiled politely and said, "Boss Kong worked hard to take care of these flowers and plants early in the morning. No wonder the flowers grow so well."

Kong Xingxing finished coughing, The ends of his eyes were still red, and he swiped his nostrils at others arrogantly. He snorted coldly and said coldly, "You're so fake."

"..." You're not fake? ! Zhuo Yan thought.

Ah Yin stood next to her brother, looked at him, and said seriously: "You're fake."

Kong Xingxing was angry. Zhuo Yan hurriedly said: "Haha, everyone is lying, take a step back." It's not like we are here to fight.

"What are you doing here?" Kong Xingxing asked.

Zhuo Yan: I'm afraid you won't ask. So he said: "Boss Kong, you have a good sense of aesthetics and the flowers in the garden are beautifully arranged. Take a look, what kind of skirt would look good with this stone necklace? Yours is too expensive. I have already replaced the stones. We want to find another feather skirt to match it. Of course it won't be as good-looking as yours, but we can just make it look good."

"Feather skirts from other tribes?" Kong Xingxing asked in disbelief. The two beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, and they taunted loudly: "Should we use the few black hairs of the Eagle people, the gray and rough hairs of the Yan people, or the hard twig-like hairs of the Eagle people?"

Zhuo Yan said sincerely: "I think the feathers of the Golden-headed tribe are pretty good. Last year, my friend brought back a necklace that was decorated with the feathers of the Golden-headed tribe and a piece of peacock hair."

He Before he finished speaking, Kong Xingxing was already boasting.

"I know this. I said no matching, no matching. It's all my fault for Kong Yue. He used his hair to exchange things with the Golden Head clan..." Kong Xingxing said this, and his arrogance subsided a little.

Zhuo Yan guessed that Kong Yue exchanged feathers for salt from the Golden Head Tribe. He pretended not to know and said, "Boss Kong confirmed that the feathers from the Golden Head Tribe are also good.

" The upper part is barely visible."

"But we, Shitou, don't buy skirts to match this necklace. Boss Kong, look at it. Is it much different?"

Kong Xingxing looked at Shitou again. There was a lot of difference. Just look at the upper body. , that's really... not bad, let's look at the lower body...

This sub-orc has strong thighs and is wrapped in a very short deer-patterned leather skirt. It's actually not ugly. At least it's better-looking than the feathers of the golden-headed tribe. There are orcs. Wild and beautiful.

"Change wherever you like." Kong Xingxing looked away and finally said.

Zhuo Yan: "..." You didn't take the bait? He also thought that Kong Xingxing was more concerned about the matching of clothes and did not want his outstanding works to have flaws - the necklace that looked like a top was hung in the middle, which showed that Boss Kong admired his masterpiece.

As a result, all the provocations failed?

"Then, Shitou, please stay here for a while and talk to Boss Kong. Let's go to the Jintou tribe and then see if the Yanren Diaoren family has anything suitable."

Shitou was finally here to talk. Shitou was happy. Yes, he said yes in a loud voice.

The group of people parted. In the small garden shop, Kong Xingxing saw that the orc man with lots of ideas and cunning had left. He looked at the big orc man again and said lazily and arrogantly, "Why are you staying here?"

"Kong Xingxing, you look so good. It's so beautiful. Do you have a partner?" Shitou asked.

Kong Xingxing's proudly raised head froze for a second.

"I like your face, your hair, your height and your skin. You're so good-looking." Shitou continued, "I can help you with more work if I stay."

Kong Xingxing's face turned red with anger. Pointing his finger at the big black man in front of him, "You, you, you -"

"Do you have a partner?" Shitou asked again, and then sighed: "If you have a partner, then I should leave. What a pity."

Kong Xingxing shook his fingertips and said arrogantly: "I don't want to have a partner. Who is worthy of me? Xingxing."

Shitou was happy, but it seemed that he didn't.

"Don't be happy. I don't need a partner. I don't mean you have a chance. That partner of yours is cunning. You are like a stone."

"Kong Xingxing, your name sounds nice to me." After the stone finished speaking, he Noticing Kong Xingxing's previous sentence, he said seriously: "Zhuo Yan is my good partner. He is not cunning, he is smart and clever."

"You are so stupid, you can't even tell." Kong Xingxing was cold. snort.

Shitou didn't like what Kong Xingxing said, so he stepped forward and took a few steps closer. Kong Xingxing was forced to retreat, "What are you going to do?" Why is this sub-orc taller than him? Impossible, he must have bent over.

"Kong Xingxing, don't say bad things about Zhuo Yan, let's mate." Shitou put one arm around Kong Xingxing's waist, and Kong Xingxing's hair was really nice to touch.

Kong Xingxing:!

"You, you, stay away from me."

There was disappointment in Shitou's eyes. It seemed that the mating was not successful today. "Then let me do the work. What do you want me to do?"

"You go outside to water the flowers." Kong Xingxing said hurriedly.

Shitou went to water the flowers. He thought about what Kong Xingxing did. He came to Kong Xingxing with a bamboo tube and said, "This is the one you drank just now."

"Yeah, I'll give you another one-" Kong Xingxing didn't say anything. After saying that, the black guy took a big sip next to his bamboo tube. Kong Xingxing said, "!!! That's my bamboo tube."

Shitou swallowed it in one gulp, stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains on his lips, and said, "I don't mind. "Kong Xingxing, drinking water from this bamboo tube is so sweet."

Kong Xingxing was teased by a leopard sub-orc in his shop.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, do you think Shitou can do it alone?"

"That's right, how about we go back and help?"

Zhuo Yan: "Boss Kong is quite smart and smart. It would be a disservice to us to go back. Besides, Shitou usually sees He doesn't like to talk, but every time he speaks, he is to the point and shows off his talent. " "If Shitou can't handle it today, if he goes there a few more times, he will really get bored of Kong Xingxing." "Don't you

think that he will leave.

I found that Kong Xingxing quite admired stones?"

The other three shook their heads, right? Only Ah Yin nodded with certainty and said: "Brother is right, yes. On the first day Shitou looked at the clothes on the wall, Kong Xingxing said he wanted to change the size. His eyes stayed on Shitou for a while, and today he also looked at Shitou's thighs. "

I only look at it when I want to mate."

Zhuo Yan:? ? ? ah? Is there any? Ah Yin, how do you know about the latter one?

The Ayin orcs are good hunters and have keen observation. At this time, he turned to look at his brother and said, "In the spring, Daya took us hunting. There were reindeer mating. When mating, they looked at the position of their lower bodies."

A Tou scratched his head, he thought Can't get specific.

"...Then when Shitou comes back today, I have to tell Shitou about this discovery." Zhuo Yan still believed in A Yin's words, and realized later, "No wonder I missed the provocation just now. It turns out that Kong Xingxing admires Shitou's current penetration ability." I think it looks pretty good."

"Kong Xingxing is really arrogant in words but sullen in heart."

Zhuo Yan said that Kong Xingxing is really sullen and uses the word "neixiu" when treating his friends. Double standard visible.

When Aman and Xiaoxian heard this analysis, they were no longer worried. The two of them hadn't exchanged anything yet, so they went to the Carving Man's Shop and were still discussing going to the Golden Head Clan to have another look.

The carving shop is so lively. Not only are there many cubs, but there are also a few males from the Peacock Tribe looking after the children and inviting them to come in and take a look.

Male peacocks are really easy to identify: they have white skin and beautiful blue-green hair.

These four males all have lake-blue hair, which may be long or short, and have good body proportions. They are fair and beautiful, but compared with Kong Xingxing next door, there is a gap between a peerless beauty and an ordinary beauty.

In particular, some of the four males taking care of the children were a little irritable, and they didn't look so lively, and they looked wilted.

"Is this Carving Man's shop?" Zhuo Yan asked curiously.

The short-haired peacock man yawned and said, "They are still working. Let's take a look at the shop. Let's talk about what you want."

"Okay."

Zhuo Yan took a look around. The Diao Ren shop was full of dazzling things, relatively small. Many, this shop mostly has some feather accessories, but at first glance they are all made of peacock feathers, "Why aren't these in the peacock tribe's shop?"

"We have lived in the Diao Ren tribe, and we are no longer considered a peacock tribe." Short hair When the man said this, his tone was a bit low.

Others said: "Have you been to the next door? Kong Xingxing has a very bad temper, but he is the prettiest.", "Will Kong Yue go to the Golden Head Clan this year?", "Whatever, as long as I can survive. "

Zhuo Yan was shocked. He thought about the Peacock Clan's decline, but he didn't expect it to be so withered. "How many people are there in the Peacock Clan?"

"Kong Yue hasn't left yet, so there are six."

Not to mention Zhuo Yan, even Xiao Xian . With eyes wide open, several people looked at each other in shock. They didn't say anything in the shop. There was nothing to change here. They were all peacock feather ornaments, not as complicated, delicate and beautiful as Kong Xingxing.

Of course, exchanges are less frequent and cheaper.

As soon as he left the shop, Zhuo Yan sighed, and Ah Yin looked over, "What's wrong, brother?"

"There's nothing to change, there are all feather accessories here."

"Zhuo Yan, what do you want to change?" A Man asked.

Zhuo Yan: "Some usable ones, or some seeds."

"Brother Zhuo Yan, we haven't finished shopping yet."

"Same."

They went to the carving shop next door. This shop was also very small, and it was Peacock Man. The guard was also a handsome young man. He was holding two chicks in his arms. He was a little confused when he saw the visitor.

"It's okay, let's see for ourselves." Zhuo Yan had the illusion of disturbing the new mother.

The peacock man looked tender and about the same age as Xiao Xian. Aman couldn't help but said: "Are you an adult? It's not good to have a child before you are an adult."

"No, no, this is not my child, but it is mine. " Child." Peacock Man's face turned red as he explained.

Aman reacted and apologized quickly, "I'm not saying you're bad. We orcs can only mate after they are adults. It's my first time here. I don't know the situation of you feather people. I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's a small thing." The peacock man waved his hand, and the chick in his arms fell down, and he quickly picked it up again.

For the last time, the peacock men put the chicks in the nest and called each other by name. This peacock man is called Kong Xi. He is seventeen years old. He just moved to the Eagle tribe last winter. He married a female of the Eagle tribe. The female gave birth to cubs. He was responsible for incubating the eggs and taking care of the cubs...

"You females give birth to cubs." ? Not a sub-beast - a sub-feathered people? "

Kong Xi: "We don't have the term sub-feathered people. We are females who give birth to cubs, and males do not. However, our peacock clan has few people, all of them are males, and the eagle people have more females. "

According to what you say, if the peacock family is all male, who will give birth to cubs?" Aman reacted quickly, he didn't understand.

Kong Xi explained to them: "In the past, there were many people in our tribe, and we were very beautiful. The other four tribes would come to our mountain all year round to court us and lay eggs. The males that hatched were peacocks, and the females were from other tribes..."

The feathered people all have wings and can transform into humans and birds, which is completely different from the sub-orc orc setting. After all, in this connected mountain, if the feathered people have a sub-feathered saying: pure humans have no wings, life In the mountains, it will be very difficult to work outside.

Xiao Xian couldn't help but look envious after hearing this, "You're so kind. We sub-orcs can't turn into beasts, but both males and females of yours have wings and can fly."

"We, the peacock clan, can't fly far, so we can't change to salt. Being able to live among the other four tribes," Kong Xi said, not feeling depressed, but very optimistic.

They chatted for a long time and learned some about the situation of the Eagle Clan. Now the leader of the Eagle Clan is an older female. In the past, she had always minded her own business. The female would lay eggs, and the male would incubate and look after the babies. The female would go out to work.

Until the past few years, the clan leader was old and did not go out much. The male eagle people followed the eagle people very closely, even though the clan leader said that they eagle people should not care about outside things, and it would be of no use.

After Zhuo Yan heard this, he just wanted to say that Diaoren also had internal contradictions, just like Yanren. Yanren's two shops supported Yingren on the one hand and wanted to follow Yingren as his younger brother, but on the other hand they had the backbone to insist on themselves. Live your own life, not someone's little follower.

The Diaoren tribe is in a leisurely and free-range mode, or a power-earning mode.

"Last year the Tiger Man and the Eagle Man had a dispute over the exchange of salt. I think the Eagle Man also helped the Eagle Man. Even this year, we came yesterday and we didn't see any salt in the market." Zhuo Yan asked.

Kong Xi said: "The clan leader said that we will talk about it in a few years. Don't interfere with the affairs of the feathered people and the orcs now. When the two clans are finished fighting, you can come back later. We have salt."

"..."

This is really not a clique. There is no right or wrong without cliques.

The shop was the same as next door, with mostly feather ornaments, but there were also some handmade wood carvings, simple bird ornaments, and some whistles. Xiao Xian saw a wind chime, which was woven from beautiful colored stones, with a shell hanging from the bottom.

When it swings, it makes a crisp collision sound.

"Kong Xi, how do I change this?" Xiao Xian couldn't wait.

"I made this, what do you have?" Kong Xi put the bird's nest on the side of the shelf, got up and went over to ask.

Xiao Xian took off his backpack and looked at his goods carefully. He couldn't take out the salt. This wind chime was so beautiful. He thought for a moment and took out a piece of soap and a piece of leather.

"Are these two okay?"

Kong Xi looked at it and waved his hand. Xiao Xian thought it was too little, gritted his teeth and wanted to take out more. Kong Xi said: "There are too many. This is made of stones. I picked up the stones in the stream. They are all the most beautiful and round. The only thing I cherish is The shells at the bottom belong to Hairen.

"My friend brought back two. I couldn't bear to exchange them all, so I kept one and exchanged this one."

Xiao Xian listened to the explanation and talked about his own things.

"This is soap. We make it with grease..."

Zhuo Yan did not stop Xiao Xian from telling them all about their recipe, because Kong Xi was also very sincere. In the end, Kong Xi decided to exchange, "All I need is a piece of soap. "When our cubs grow up, we can give them a bath."

"Can one piece be enough?"

"Yes!" Kong Xi added: "Actually, last year, I saw soap from the Jintou tribe, and it was much prettier than this one."

Xiao Xian was embarrassed, "We are too busy this year, but it is actually just as useful, but I just didn't have time. Carving patterns.

"I mean this one is very good. Although it doesn't have patterns, it's very big." Kong Xi is also very happy. He thinks it's good to get a bigger one. If he wants patterns, he can make them himself. Things are still usable.

Really good.

So the two parties happily exchanged the goods, and both of them were very happy. Kong Xi also said to Xiao Xian: "Your fur is very smooth and soft. You can get some salt."

In the eyes of everyone, salt is the most precious thing.

After Kong Xi finished speaking, he added: "But it can't be done now. You can't exchange it for a piece of leather now. If it was possible before, I remember a long time ago, when I was young." At

that time, a piece of leather could be exchanged for a bag of salt. Now I can't exchange any three of them.

Zhuo Yan: Yingren's monopoly is driving up prices. It's really abominable.

"But you can ask the Yingren if you can change a little less, just individually, or -" Kong Xi hesitated, "Are you from the Leopard People?"

Everyone nodded.

"I can ask my partner and see if she can secretly exchange some for you."

Zhuo Yan saw that this seemed a bit risky, because Kong Xi was not sure either - this person was so nice, and immediately said: "No, we don't Change the salt, really."

Kong Xi was relieved at first. His partner liked him very much and he would definitely agree, but he didn't want to get his partner into trouble because of him - if the Ying people found out about it and went to the clan leader, the clan leader would say that his partner of.

"Okay, okay."

After exchanging things, they were about to leave. When they left, Xiao Xian was still very happy, holding the precious string of wind chimes, which made a tinkling sound.

"It's so beautiful. The people in Kongxi are so nice. I think they are even better than the people in Kongxingxing."

"Don't say this in front of Shitou." Aman said. Since Shitou likes Kong Xingxing, they shouldn't say bad things about Kong Xingxing.

Xiao Xian: "Okay. It would be nice if we came to the carving shop first yesterday, so that the first thing Shitou saw was Kong Xi."

"You just went out and forgot? Kong Xi has a partner and children." Zhuo Yan explain. Although he is young, he is a daddy.

Xiao Xian: "That's right. Kong Xi's partner should be very nice too."

Zhuo Yan: ...I've never even seen him before. His friends are all the same in one respect: they like someone with all their heart and soul, and they even put a layer of filters on their partner.

After walking a little further, Xiao Xian suddenly shouted: "Hey, I forgot my leather!"

"?" Zhuo Yan said to go back and look for it first, don't worry.

Only then did Aman notice that Xiao Xian's backpack was empty. He must have taken out the leather and put it on the shelf just now, but then he was so happy talking that he forgot about it.

After several people turned back, Kong Xi was sitting cross-legged on the woven mat with a bird's nest on his knees. A baby bird woke up inside, and Kong Xi was pouring out beans from a bamboo tube to feed the baby bird.

Zhuo Yan looked at the small, round bean -

"Mung beans?!"

No, you have mung beans, why don't you put them on the shelves? !

What are you doing! ! !

Chapter 72

: Why not put mung beans on the shelves? In fact, Zhuo Yan could understand this after thinking about it: in their Leopard Tribe market, no one would exchange potatoes or wild vegetables this year.

Just say now, at this moment.

Zhuo Yan's expression of shock and joy scared Kong Xi who was 'feeding' the child. Kong Xi shook his hand, and a mung bean rolled to the ground and got stuck in the gap between the bamboo on the floor. The chick had grown its beak and had no food to eat. It quacked twice before Kong Xi reacted. He coaxed the chick with his hand and poured a few mung beans to feed it.

"Why are you guys back? Do you want to change anything?"

Xiao Xian walked to a shelf, picked up his own leather, and said, "I forgot to take this."

"Eh? I didn't even notice that after you left, Jinjin woke up and I fed her some beans," Kong Xi said.

Zhuo Yan bent down and picked up the mung bean on the ground. The bean was slightly cooked and half-cooked. It was green on the outside. The bean was larger than modern mung beans, about the size of a red bean. When pinched with a fingernail, it was divided into two. The inside was white. Yes, Zhuo Yan didn't mind it being dirty, so he simply put it in his mouth and ate it.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, why do you still eat baby food?"

"He seems to like this green food."

A Man and Xiao Xian murmured. Kong Xi smiled and said: "This is called mung bean, because it is green in appearance and the weather is very hot. It is better to eat mung beans recently. My family Jinjin likes to eat these and Dandan likes to eat peanuts."

"!!!" Zhuo Yan mouthed It smells like mung beans. It's really mung beans. It's guaranteed to be fake. Hearing this, he looked at Kong Xi in disbelief, "There are actually peanuts?!"

I don't know what other surprises your clan has!

"Do you like peanuts?" Kong Xi took out another bamboo tube and handed it over, "If you don't mind, I also have peanuts here. They are cooked half-cooked and very clean. You can try it."

Aman Xiaoxian'a The first three people saw Zhuo Yan taking the bamboo tube and pouring some round red-skinned beans into the palm of his hand. They burst out laughing twice and pinched a few beans and put them in their mouths.

"It's really peanuts!" The peanuts are also larger than modern peanuts.

Zhuo Yan was so surprised.

Only Ah Yin knew that his brother had finally found the seed he wanted to change.

"Kong Xi, can mung beans and these peanut seeds be exchanged?" A Yin asked.

Kong Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "You can find them everywhere in the mountains. Do you want to change?"

"Change!" Zhuo Yan affirmed happily.

Kong Xi held the bird's nest in his hands and said, "We don't have any in the shop right now. If you want it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. How many do you want?"

"Use your bamboo tubes for mung bean and red bean seeds. You want ten tubes each."

"Okay." Kong Xi said happily. nod.

Then they talked and exchanged things. Zhuo Yan thought about the disadvantage he had suffered before. If Xiao Xian hadn't forgotten his leather and turned back, he really wouldn't have been able to find it. Of course, there is another way - eating at Yu Ren's place.

However, they declined. Zhuo Yan said before, "I'm here even if I'm here." In the next few days, he got to know someone, and if he took a day and a half to eat at someone's house, maybe he would find out later.

After this lesson, Zhuo Yan became more careful, "Kong Xi, what do you usually eat?"

"Beans, these two kinds of peanuts, mung beans, and berries. The trees are full of fruits, fruits with hairy shells and a layer of thorns on the outside - —"

Zhuo Yan, listen, this looks like chestnut.

"There are also millet seeds. This is too troublesome to make. The particles are very small. You have to be careful when cleaning them."

"Millet seeds!!!" Zhuo Yan exclaimed again.

This time, it was not in vain. Yuren had wings to fly everywhere, and he could pick up any kind of seeds and drop them in the soil. Yuren's mountain was richer in resources than he thought, and it was really close to human food.

Kong Xi looked at it and smiled, "Do you want this too? That's a lot."

"Yes, I want this too." Zhuo Yan looked at Ah Yin, who had already taken out the red fox skin. Zhuo Yan looked at his friends seriously and said, "I want to exchange this leather with Kong Xi for these crops, and the seeds I bring back can be planted in our tribe, okay?"

Aman, Xiaoxian, Aman, and Tou nodded.

"It was originally given to you by the clan leader. I must believe you." "Brother Zhuo Yan, is this delicious?"

Zhuo Yan handed the remaining half of the peanuts to Xiao Xian, who chewed them without hesitation. Peanuts, but because they are half-cooked, some of the raw taste is not very delicious. Xiao Xian thinks the taste is average. Zhuo Yan sees it and explains with a smile: "The peanuts are boiled, fried, ground into powder and put in the steamer. If paired with millet, , and some honey, that's yellow rice, mung bean and peanut sticky rice. "

He really hasn't eaten these for a long time. Now there are some raw mung beans and peanuts in his mouth. He also feels that they are very fragrant. The more he chews, the more fragrant they become, especially when he thinks about it. I can eat it in different ways in the future, which is so happy.

Yellow rice steamed bread, yellow rice, yellow rice sticky cake.

How wonderful.

"As for mung beans, the weather is hot in summer and you don't like to drink bitter tree sap. Boiling mung beans into soup and letting it cool can also relieve the heat. It is not bitter at all and has a refreshing fragrance."

After hearing this, several people's eyes suddenly lit up. Change, change, change!

On the contrary, Kong Xi didn't dare to take the piece of leather. This leather looked very good, even better than the deer pattern leather that Xiao Xian took out just now. It was furry, fiery red, oily and smooth, and the leather was soft.

Zhuo Yan solemnly handed the leather to Kong Xi. Kong Xi blushed and hurriedly explained: "These things are available to all five ethnic groups and are everywhere in the mountains. We eat them every day. Your leather is very beautiful -"

"Kong Xi , they are worth exchanging a piece of skin. Although the five tribes have them, it is fate that we entered your shop and chatted for so long. I am willing to exchange with you." Zhuo Yan handed the skin and smiled, "You are a good person. "Don't worry, we'll come back to pick up the goods tomorrow."

Kong Xi said, the tip of his nose was a little red with anxiety, but seeing Zhuo Yan's serious and happy look, he put down the bird's nest very solemnly for some reason. took the leather.

"Okay. Thank you, Zhuo Yan."

"Then I also thank you Kong Xi."

Zhuo Yan didn't bother Kong Xi to take care of the children, because he was so happy, and the two cubs in the bird's nest looked pretty. In fact, the two cubs ——I don't know how old they are, but they are not particularly small anyway. Both cubs have dark feathers and make a squawking sound. Now that I look closely, they are indeed quite cute.

When they left, Zhuo Yan was humming a song this time and had to put his hands in his pockets.

"Kong Xi's cub is quite cute."

"What's it called? Oh, I remembered it. It's called Jin Jin. If Jin Jin hadn't woken up and wanted to eat, and Kong Xi fed Jin Jin mung beans, I wouldn't have known what it was. There are mung beans, and Jinjin's little cub also screams loudly."

Ah Yin couldn't help but smile when her brother said this. Zhuo Yan: ...

Aman said from the side: "When I first came in, I didn't see you thinking that the cub of the carved man was cute. I remember that when Dayun didn't turn into a human form, you couldn't take your eyes away when you saw Dayun.

"Dayun is really cute when he is furry," Zhuo Yan explained, and looked at A Yin, "But our A Yin has grown up, and his human form is handsome, and his animal form is also very cute." A

Yin was happy. Jealous.

"Brother Zhuo Yan just likes those beans. He doesn't really like carved cubs, and he doesn't think they are cute. So Kong Xingxing is right." Xiao Xian almost blurted out the word 'fake'.

"I was just being polite and courteous in interpersonal relationships." Zhuo Yan Zhengyi said, whether it was fake or not, the carved man cub did not touch his aesthetic taste, but the cub's father was a really nice person, so of course he had to praise him.

"It's like, we didn't know each other before, do you not like me? Do you think I'm not very good? But after we got to know each other, did you sincerely find that there are many shining things about me?"

"So I praise Jin Jin, That's sincere, not fake."

After finishing the nonsense, Zhuo Yan continued to be happy.

Xiao Xian felt that it was right and reasonable, and A Man curled his lips with a smile. He could tell that Zhuo Yan was looking for excuses, but what Zhuo Yan said was very reasonable and could not be refuted.

Zhuo Yan fooled his friends and continued shopping with a smile. He went to a small shop belonging to the Golden Head Tribe. This time, the girl guarding the shop had a strange face. Zhuo Yan tentatively called Zi Lan, and the other party agreed, and then said, "If you were there yesterday, Huang said, "The Leopard People came to me. I thought it was Qiao."

"Qiao didn't come this year," Aman said.

Zilan: "Why doesn't she come? Did something happen to her?"

"No, no, everything is fine with Qiao. Our clan has been delayed for some time this year. The sun is too hot this time. Qiao feels that it is hard to do this this year." Not coming." Zhuo Yan explained.

Zi Lan nodded and sighed, "I still miss her." But she quickly cheered up and said happily: "You must be the best partners she said, Zhuo Yan, A Man, Xiao Xian?"

" Yes. You have a good memory."

"She was having dinner at my house and kept talking about you. She said that Zhuo Yan was very smart, A Man seemed to have a bad temper but a good heart, and Xiao Xian was smaller, and by the way, he also had a stone, which was the strongest. "

The stone is at the Peacock Shop."

Purple Blue's eyes lit up, "Is it Kong Xingxing's shop? He has a bad temper, but he is the most beautiful among the five feather people."

It seems that Boss Kong has a good reputation.

"The feather in the necklace that Qiao took away last year belonged to Kong Xingxing's younger brother Kong Yue. If it were Kong Xingxing's feather, soap would not be easy to replace."

Zhuo Yan thought to himself, it was indeed difficult to replace, and he almost spent all of Shitou's family wealth to replace it. They chatted for a while. Zilan also treated them to berries and millet dumplings for lunch. Zhuo Yan was going to politely refuse Zilan to let them eat, but when he saw the millet dumplings, his eyes suddenly lit up. , shamelessly stayed.

"Is this the millet? It's yellow and a bit sticky." Xiao Xian was curious. Here was a dumpling wrapped in a smooth green leaf, the size of a child's fist. One for each of them. Xiao Xian didn't dare to eat it, so he went to see everyone first. .

Zhuo Yan held it and took a bite. The yellow rice was a bit sticky, soft, glutinous and sticky. If there is white sugar, dip it in some white sugar and put some peanut and mung bean filling in it - it will be delicious!

Just talking about eating now, the aroma of yellow rice, coupled with the fragrance of leaves...

Zhuo Yan was immersed in it, nibbling in small mouths, "It's delicious."

Xiao Xian and A Man both thought it was okay, a little sticky, It's not bad, and it's not very tasty either. As for A Tou, he took a bite and thought - that's it. Zhuo Yan said it was not particularly delicious, so he might as well eat barbecue.

Ah Yin gave his to his brother, who liked to eat it.

Zhuo Yan didn't want it, "You eat it, you taste it carefully, it has the aroma of grain." It's the inherent aroma of rice noodles, followed by the earthy atmosphere, the charm of simple food.

He loved it.

Seeing that Zhuo Yan liked to eat this, Zilan was very happy and said: "Qiao didn't like to eat this at that time. He only ate some berries every day and brought me some barbecue every day. However, I ate too much barbecue and it made me feel uncomfortable. I still "I like to eat millet."

Zhuo Yan: Reflecting again, I forgot to ask Qiao Yu carefully what the human race eats.

Fortunately he is here this year!

After chatting for a long time, Zilan was more cheerful and lively than Ruohuang. The most important thing was because of their relationship with Qiao. They were very trusting and close to them. Ruohuang was much more polite and would not mention Yuren's affairs, so Zilan said. Some things I heard from the elders.

For example, when we went to the beach to exchange salt this year, the Yingren went there early and were very arrogant. They exchanged most of the salt. Now, except for the Yingren who have extra, the Golden-headed Tribe and the Yanren can barely eat enough.

"Yingren is so domineering and arrogant, why don't you deal with Yingren?" Zhuo Yan couldn't figure it out.

Zi Lan whispered: "Our tribe can't defeat the Ying people."

"You can join forces with other tribes."

Zi Lan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said slowly: "The Eagle people can defeat the Ying people, but the Eagle people can't defeat the Ying people." People don't like to meddle in things, as long as they have enough to eat, the Yan people used to quarrel and fight every day. The elders in the clan were unwilling to listen to the Ying people, but the younger ones liked to play with the Ying people. "

Zhuo Yan thought of the man who opened the door and smiled at them. The old man of the wild goose.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, it's really what you guessed."

Among the five tribes, Peacock is only in single digits and has zero combat effectiveness. The Eagle people didn't show up, and only the Yan people and the Golden Head clan were left. As a result, the Yan people were still fighting among themselves. If they let it go like this -

"Last year, the Eagle people knocked down the Yan people's salt. This year, they went over early and swallowed a lot of it. I only give you a few." Aren't you afraid that the tribe will leave behind the salt that they can barely eat, and then your mountaintop will also become that of the Yingren?" Zhuo Yan asked.

Zilan angrily retorted loudly that it was impossible.

Zhuo Yan said nothing more and left a piece of soap as a treat. Zi Lan, who was angry just now, felt a little embarrassed when she saw Soap, and wanted to stop Zhuo Yan and said that she didn't need to give it to her. She had said that she would invite Qiao's partner, but she was still angry and he had gone away.

It was already evening when they left, and several people were walking on the road. Xiao Xian couldn't explain: "Why is Zilan so angry? Brother Zhuo Yan didn't say anything."

"Yes, although Zhuo Yan's words were unpleasant, there was no such thing this time. Fake politeness." Aman.

Zhuo Yan: ...

"She was angry because she was afraid. She was afraid that, as I said, the Yingren would take over their mountain."

"Would the Yingren do that?" A Tou asked.

Ah Yin nodded. He believed what his brother said, and he had also thought about it. He couldn't help but say: "Every time Yingren does a little bad thing, he will do it a little bigger next time. Others don't care. When there are more Yingren, the weakest There are not many members of the Peacock tribe left, and the second weakest is the Golden-headed tribe. Then it will be the Golden-headed tribe's turn."

"Yeah, you think, if Maha goes to the door of your cave and grabs the leaves of the bubble tree——"

Aman was immediately furious: "Why did he pick at the entrance of my cave!"

"That's right."

Ah Tou said, "He dares to come without an invitation. My father and I are going to have a fight with him."

"Look, there are no leaves at the entrance of my cave . Maha is not allowed to pick, and he will fight if he dares to pick. Maha will definitely not dare to come next time, but no one will stop him. Maha thinks you are easy to bully. Today he will pick leaves, tomorrow he will get potatoes from your hole, and the day after tomorrow he will get meat. He's so fat that when the time comes, neither A Tou nor your father will be a match for Maha." Zhuo Yan gave an example.

As a result, when Ah Tou thought about this situation, he wished he could go back and fight with Maha.

"Before the clan leader led the team away, Mahana would find trouble with Dian. Dian endured it once or twice, but Maha didn't even take Dian seriously. Later, Dian still had a fight with Maha, and Maha turned off the engine. "

" Think about it, is it similar to what the Ying people are doing now? The Eagle people think that they have more people and are doing nothing. But in the future, the Ying people will definitely bully the Eagle people. "

Aman has been thinking. Ever since he met Zhuo Yan, his mind has been thinking about the questions raised by Zhuo Yan from time to time. Unlike before, he didn't even think about eating anything - he would eat whatever the hunting team caught anyway.

Xiao Xian is also thinking about it, and A Tou is also thinking about it.

"...The Eagle Man will definitely bully the Golden Head Clan." Xiao Xian.

"I've been bullied. This year, I haven't let the Golden Head tribe get any extra salt." Aman.

Zhuo Yan said: "Although it doesn't have a long snow season here like our tribe, it still snows, and leather is always needed. Didn't you see how happy Kong Xi was when he got leather?"

In a world without cotton clothes, heating would be firewood, Own feathers/genes and skin.

"The Ying people have salt in exchange for a lot of skins. When they are fed and clothed, there will be more people. With more people, the tribe will become bigger. The mountains are not enough to live -" Aman pushed.

Xiao Xian's eyes lit up and he answered quickly: "Then grab someone else's mountain!"

Brother Zhuo Yan was indeed right. Although it hasn't happened yet, it will definitely happen in the future.

"But there was an accident this time. Did you forget about the tiger people?" Zhuo Yan reminded. Several people instantly understood that the tiger people were looking for revenge from the eagle people. Zhuo Yan looked at them and everyone understood that they would not talk about this anymore.

On the way back, all the shops of the carving people were closed. Only Kong Xingxing's garden door was still open. From a distance, Zhuo Yan could see that Shitou was wearing a small leather skirt and was dusting away dust with a feather duster in his hand. He looked like Very happy.

"Shitou is very happy.", "Should we call him?", "Tell him something?"

Several people had a tacit understanding and stood at the door of the garden and shouted. Shitou ran out a few steps beamingly and said, "I will be here at noon. " After eating, you go back first."

"Would you like some barbecue for you?" Zhuo Yan asked.

Shitou agreed. He ate too little for lunch. In fact, he was hungry, but he couldn't bear to leave. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Take down Boss Kong well -" Zhuo Yan saw someone standing not far behind Shitou. Kong Xingxing, who was eavesdropping in the corner, added: "My skirt."

Shitou thought about it carefully and seriously agreed: "Okay, I understand."

Then they dispersed. When Zhuo Yan and the others went back, they also passed by Yanren's shop - —The old man was in the room. Aman couldn't find a suitable one all day long. He wanted to go in and have a look, so Zhuo Yan said he should come in.

The old man was startled at first, then reacted very enthusiastically.

Surprisingly, there are very few feather jewelry in this shop, because the feathers of wild geese are not as bright as those of peacocks and golden-headed people. There are some tools here, such as plant needles, which are ground very fine, and crochet models.

Some futon mats, bamboo baskets, bamboo fans, and bamboo mats are also available.

Aman likes bamboo mats. This bamboo mat is cool to the touch and can be rolled up. Zhuo Yan also likes it. This bamboo mat is very open, folded in half, and then rolled up. It doesn't take up any space and can be carried on your back. It is very tightly woven and the edges are wrapped with straw rope.

"You orcs are very tall, and this mat is specially made to be wide." The old man explained beside him.

"I want this." Aman decided immediately. The bamboo they planted is still far away from growing, so it can be used now.

Aman replaced the bamboo mat with a medium-sized sheepskin.

The old man Yanren was very happy and gave Aman a futon cushion, so Aman gave him a piece of soap. Xiao Xian wanted it too. He also had deerskin and a pottery bowl. After thinking about it, he took out the pottery bowl in exchange and asked the other party if he could. The old man said yes, it would take some time to weave mats, but now there is no more time.

"How long will it take?"

"Three days."

Xiao Xian immediately agreed, saying yes, and gave one pottery bowl to the old man first. "When the mat is ready, I will give you another one."

"Okay."

Zhuo Yan thought to himself, Xiao Xian taught himself the set of deposit and balance payment without any teacher.

In short, everyone exchanged the goods they brought with them that day, leaving some salt in their hands. Xiao Xian still had a piece of deerskin, A Man still had a piece of soap in his hand, Zhuo Yan only had a piece of soap in his hand, and nothing else. .

But there was nothing he wanted to change.

These market shops do not update their goods every day.

It was already sunset when they returned, and both the lion-men and tiger-men came to see them and gave them two pieces of meat. Da En Sanglong gave it to him. When he saw them coming back, he asked, "You are back, what have you changed?"

Xiao Xian took out the wind chime and showed it to Da En Sang Long. It jingled.

"It looks good." Sang Long nodded, it was really a child's play.

Aman said: "I changed to a bamboo mat at Yanren's place, so I can sleep well tonight." After he said that, he suddenly realized that it was not good for Dan and Yanren to stay together...

Dan was just stunned for a moment. , laughed, looked at what Aman was holding, and said, "It looks good, how do you use this?"

"Have you seen our mats? We are woven from grass, and this one is woven from bamboo. It is very cool. ." Aman still explained: "Yanren has two shops, one is closed, Zhuo Yan said that the other one should be opened by an old female, and they probably don't like Yingren either. , but there is nothing we can do about the Yingren."

"Aman, I know that our tiger tribe has a grudge against the Yingren, and we had a quarrel with the Yanren last year, but this has nothing to do with you," Dan said.

Aman said angrily: "It doesn't matter, I hate Yingren too, so I won't exchange things with Yingren."

"Okay, I hate it too, we hate it together." Dan smiled happily.

Zhuo Yan: ...It's obviously summer, but it feels like spring.

Later, they chatted for a while, lit a fire and grilled meat. It was too late, so Da En and Sang Long went back. On the way, Sang Long said: "I was not happy to hear that A Man went to Yanren Shop, but Zhuo Yan "It should be true."

"Actually, even if Yanren has a good relationship with Yingren, I won't be angry if Aman goes to Yanren's shop to exchange things."

Sang Long: "What if he goes to Yingren's shop? Aren't you angry?"

"No, Aman won't go to Yingren's shop, and I won't be angry because Aman goes to Yanren's shop." Dan thought for a moment. , said: "I didn't understand what grandma said about being considerate before, but now I understand."

Sang Long laughed loudly: "You kid, you have fallen in love with Aman, but are you going to the Leopard Clan? Or should Aman come to our Tiger Clan? Well, we grew up together, and I can't bear to see you leave."

"...Aman can't bear to leave Zhuo Yan and the others."

Ah Yin and Ah Tou went to deliver barbecue to Shi Tou. When they came back in the evening, Ah Yin said, "Shi Tou slept with Boss Kong. At the shop, I won't be back tonight."

Ah Tou was very excited and said, "Guess what we saw when we went to deliver the barbecue?"

This gossipy expression was so familiar to Zhuo Yan that it aroused his curiosity. He thought, "Shitou and Boss Kong are kissing?" This was the fastest progress he could think of.

"No, Shitou took off Boss Kong's skirt!" Atou said.

Zhuo Yan:! ! ! He glanced at Ah Yin with burning eyes. Is this true or false?

Ah Yin nodded.

Aman Xiaoxian also came over excitedly. Ah Tou was describing vividly: "We took the barbecue and went over. Ah Yin called Shi Shi at the door. There was no sound for a long time. Ah Yin said if something was going to happen, so we went in to take a look. Shi Shi took off Boss Kong's skirt and pressed him down. On the ground."

"!"

"Wow~"

"If I had known earlier, we should have served barbecue together. Even in a strange place, I don't think those thin and small feathered people can beat me." Aman said.

Zhuo Yan: "Wrong decision." He didn't expect Shitou and Boss Kong to make such rapid progress.

A Yin added: "Brother, Shitou said later that you asked him to take off Boss Kong's skirt, so he took it off."

"???" Zhuo Yan was confused, "When did I say that? , He is so slanderous, he must be coveting the beauty of Boss Kong, and he took his skirt..."

"Brother Zhuo Yan, it was really you who told me to take Boss Kong's skirt when you came back."

Aman nodded.

Zhuo Yan actually realized that this was a huge misunderstanding. He immediately explained to several people: "My 'win' means that I will win A Yin. When he becomes an adult, we will become partners. A Man will win Da En. Then Even they want to confirm their partnership. "

Who said I want to take down Dahn?" Aman snorted.

Zhuo Yan: Just pretend.

"Ah Yin just let your brother take it. He won't struggle," Ah Yin said.

Zhuo Yan was happy and turned to look at Ah Yin, "Boss Kong is still struggling?"

"The stone is pressing on Boss Kong. If he doesn't struggle, it will be over." Ah Tou gloated and said, "Boss Kong is too thin, he needs to eat more. "

Anyway, Zhuo Yan explained clearly that his 'take down' was originally to let Shi Shi take the person, but when he saw Kong Xingxing was there, he was a little more reserved and said he took off the skirt. The feather skirt hanging on the wall was not really taken by Shi Shi. Under the skirt of Xia Kong Xingxing - I made up the picture in my mind, Zhuo Yan is also a bit gossipy.

I should have known he was delivering barbecue.

That night, Shitou did not return to the cave, and Kong Xingxing did not return to his tribe—his tribe had few people, the hilltop was small, and some tree houses were no longer occupied.

The Peacock clan is not a hard-working clan. They spend a lot of time dressing up and admiring their beauty. The other four clans are very hard-working. They will take millet and beans and scatter them into the soil in the open space on the hilltop, waiting for them to work hard in the autumn. In terms of harvest, only the peacock clan does nothing every day, waiting for food from other clans.

Over time, the number of tribesmen became sparse and withered, and the hills were overtaken by weeds.

"I am very diligent, I can grow potatoes and pick Dudu fruits." Shitou said proudly with bright eyes.

As soon as Kong Xingxing heard this, this sub-orc from the Leopard Tribe was just like the females who pursued him before. They would all say that they could raise him and didn't need him to work -

"Have you rested yet? Let's do it again, Stop talking about this." Shitou turned around and asked.

Kong Xingxing:?

He... really couldn't guess what this big sub-orc thought of next.

Chapter 73

For four days in a row, Shitou came back this evening, with a red face, full of interest and in a hurry. He took his own basket and said: "Zhuo Yan, you can keep the salt I brought before we leave at the end. Give it to me again."

"Okay, no problem." Zhuo Yan agreed.

Aman Xiaoxian was blocking the way with stones.

"Why are you in a hurry?", "That's right.", "Just tell me.", "Yes, yes."

Shitou stood there, smiling happily, "I went there before the sun set on the first day. I have to thank Zhuo Yan for taking down Xingxing's skirt. Zhuo Yan, thank you for teaching me. You are really good.

" The back of his face was filled with praise from stones.

"I mated with the stars."

Aman:! Although I had already guessed it, I was still shocked when I heard it. Xiao Xian's mouth was half open, "Well, then, does Boss Kong want to go back to the tribe with us?"

"Of course not." Shitou was a little disappointed when he said this, but he quickly said energetically: "I never asked Regarding his question, I think he couldn't bear to part with that shop. He spent four or five years cleaning up the shop, and I only slept with him for a few days."

Zhuo Yan was silent and didn't know how to comfort Shi Shi. He had said before. He seldom talks and is silent, but he often hits the nail on the head and sees clearly.

"It hasn't been long since we slept together. I have to seize the time to sleep with the stars again, otherwise it will be a big loss." Shitou said.

Everyone: ...

Regarding this, neither Aman nor Xiao Xian could stop Shitou. Shitou was carrying a basket on his back and waved his arms, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do. I'll leave first."

Shitou was not only fine, but also very nervous . Happy, his back is always running to see Kong Xingxing.

Seeing this, Aman felt a little uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable for Shitou, and so did Xiao Xian. He asked Brother Zhuo Yan, "Is there really no way to let Boss Kong go to our tribe?" He felt that Brother Zhuo Yan was the smartest and there must be a way.

"Kong Xingxing has to be willing to do this kind of thing." Zhuo Yan withdrew his gaze. Shitou ran very fast and lost sight of him for a while. He said, "Shitou knows Kong Xingxing better than we do. He has already said that Kong Xingxing doesn't know how to do it." If you leave the mountain, maybe we can come back next year."

"Next year?" Aman said, "How will Shitou come here next year?"

Zhuo Yan has forgotten this. After the fight between the tiger people and the eagle people, they will definitely not be here. Stepping into the feathered territory, "...then don't disturb Shitou, let Shitou live a happier life."

In the next few days, they no longer went to Kong Xingxing's shop. During the day, Ayin Atou would follow the lion-man and tiger-man. When they go hunting, the three of them will play with the lion-men and sub-orcs. They have browsed all the shops in the market and there is nothing to change.

The female Yanren's mat has been woven, and Xiao Xian also has a bamboo mat. A few days ago, Ah Yin Ah Tou brought some branches from outside, burned them with fragrant smoke, and smoked the cave. The smell in the cave was gone, and it was much drier.

In addition, the bamboo mats were spread out, and the few of them slept in an open space. Xia Shu, a lion-man and sub -orc, came to play with them, and said with envy in his eyes: "Your caves are all decorated."

There are many orcs and sub-orcs this year. They were all crowded into a big cave, and they had been there for at least half a month. There were many people eating, drinking and sleeping together. In fact, the smell in the cave was not very good. Fortunately, everyone came out as much as possible during the day.

Aman handed the futon to Xia Shu and asked Xia Shu to sit down and chat together.

"What do you guys eat for lunch?"

Zhuo Yan ate barbecue last night, so he wasn't too hungry now. Around noon, Ah Yin Ah Tou ran back and brought a lot of berries and grapes - there are also grapes nearby, so Xiao Xianxi He picked up a large bamboo basket and handed it to Xia Shu.

"The three of us decided to eat this."

Xia Shu: "Only berries?"

"Yes."

A Man also said lazily: "I ate too much barbecue yesterday."

Xia Shu was not polite, pinched a piece of fruit and ate it, it was sour. The sweet and sour taste was so delicious. She came here because she had something to say. Zhuo Yan also guessed it. Because it was more cooked, they and Xia Shu were not so polite.

"Our clan leader can't wait any longer. We have all gone back at this time in previous years, so we want to ask some orcs to send the sub-orcs and cubs back." Xia Shu said.

Zhuo Yan nodded and understood, "You are mostly gone, so Yingren should be anxious."

It has been eight days since Yingren's shop was closed. If Tigerman doesn't ask for help, Yingren won't come forward. If Yingren doesn't come forward, other people will The four tribes did not dare to discuss the topic of salt. Both sides were waiting.

The Yingren thought this was because the Tiger Man bowed his head first. The tiger-man and lion-man knew that Zhuo Yan wanted seeds, so he was willing to keep more. Now that the lion man is leaving first, this is an opportunity - the eagle man thinks that the lion man is impatient.

It always shows up.

A few people were talking, and there were birds chirping outside. Xia Shu shut up and walked out. Zhuo Yan and the others followed. He felt that Xia Shu was very neat and smart, and he was also very communicative, but he was a lion. The human clan leader and the tiger clan leader are both upright and straightforward.

"It's purple and blue." Xiao Xian said.

The purple-blue figure hurriedly put on the skirt, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and said, "I didn't mean to hear you talking."

"I went back to Zhuoyan first," Xia Shu said.

"Okay." Zhuo Yan nodded.

Zilan stood there with a basket and felt a little restrained. Zhuo Yan smiled and said, "Come in and chat."

Since the last time he said those words at Zilan's stall, Zilan was angry. In the next few days, they would go to Jintou again. The shopkeeper of the family's shop became Ruohuang, and they never met.

Aman also said about this: They were not angry either, but why Zilan was always angry.

As everyone knows, they are not angry because they are not afraid, and it has nothing to do with them, but Zilan...

"I gave this to you. I want to apologize to you. What happened last time was my fault." Zilan handed the basket over, "I I know you like eating steamed rice dumplings very much."

Zhuo Yan swallowed unpromisingly.

Aman and Xiaoxian: ...Brother Zhuo Yan is really it!

"Greedy boy." Aman said. Zhuo Yanke had mentioned this to him before.

Xiao Xian: "That's right."

Zhuo Yan took the basket and hit Xiao Xian's head with his other hand, "Come in and sit down?"

Zi Lan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. When the group of people arrived at the cave, Xiao Xian Aman was very generous and invited Zilan to eat some fruit. When Zilan looked at the grapes, she knew that the group of people had run away, "It must have been you orcs who went out to pick the fruit. This fruit is quite far away." "

Yes." Zhuo Yan said bluntly. He couldn't help but take a millet dumpling wrapped in green leaves, a bite of grapes, and a bite of yellow rice sticky cake. It was purple grape flavored and more delicious!

Xiao Xian saw it and secretly learned to eat like this.

"Well, this is indeed delicious!"

"Right, right? Let me tell you, you can pair it with millet. It tastes both salty and sweet."

Zi Lan was very happy to see how many people were eating millet dumplings. While eating berries, he said: "After I finished talking to you, I went back that night and couldn't help but tell my mom and dad what Zhuo Yan said."

"I'm very scared. I think mom and dad will say that what Zhuo Yan said is all false. How could Zhuo Yan, a sub-orc from the orc tribe, know about our feathered people? But mom and dad are silent."

Zi Lan felt even more uncomfortable, fearful of the future predictions in Zhuo Yan's words.

"I asked Mom and Dad, if the Ying people bully us so much, why don't we resist now and have a fight with them."

When Zilan said this, her eyes were red and tears were shed. Xiao Xian Aman didn't even eat. You know how to comfort Zilan, but how can you cry just like you are doing well? They both looked at Zhuo Yan - Brother Zhuo Yan was still eating.

Zhuo Yan: ...What are you doing? Just let Zilan cry.

So the two of them hesitated and continued eating.

"I just found out that on the way back last year from carrying salt, a female from the Yingren clan beat my father. Just because my father helped the Yanren and said a few words, my father... couldn't beat her." Zilan was heartbroken. Her parents knew about this, which hit her hard.

"My father is a very big golden-headed bird in the clan, and he is also very strong. He is the one who carries the salt every year. Even he can't beat the female Yingren, let alone the male Yingren."

Zilan was very sad . Angry, he asked my mother why she didn't tell her. Grandma said she didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would go to the Yingren tribe. Are you going to get beaten? The other party will break your wings. They are very bad. If your father hadn't apologized quickly, your father's wings would have been broken.

"...These Yingmen are really hateful." Xiao Xian was so angry that he couldn't eat anything.

"Your father was beaten for helping Yanren. Didn't Yanren say anything?" Zhuo Yan asked, "Can't two people defeat one of them together?"

Zilan was stunned by the question. At first glance, she was very angry and angry at herself. I was too weak to avenge my father and went back, so I felt sad and blamed myself. I forgot to ask what happened.

But Zhuo Yan can think of it.

"Last year, the Yanren told the Tiger Man that the Eagle Man knocked off some of the salt. They said that they would not do business with the Tiger Man the next year or this year." Zhuo Yan said with certainty: "It seems that the Yanren asked the Tiger Man first. Yingren bowed his head, your father helped others, and they wanted to settle the matter. It's not that your father was too busy to help, but Yanren didn't want to come forward to offend Yingren. "

"After this incident, your father definitely doesn't want to start another fight. He is stubborn, especially when he joins forces with the Yanren to resist the Yingren. "

The Diaoren's position is that they don't care about their own business, and they seem to be neutral, but the new generation of young people in the tribe have already played well with the Yingren, so how can they resist?

"Yes." Zilan cried, "I have been crying for the past few days, and I can't understand it. I thought about what you said for a while, and wanted to persuade my parents and the tribe, but my mom scolded me. "Don't let me talk nonsense, be careful of being heard by the Yingren."

Are you afraid of being heard even in the mountains of your own clan?

Zilan was isolated and helpless. She used to be quite optimistic and lived well in the present, never thinking about the changes in the five races in the future. After Zhuo Yan's words, she came home and heard her parents saying that they could not do anything about the predicament. She was hit hard. She had no idea. What to do, what to do.

Is there nothing she can do but watch things get worse, her people being bullied by the hawks, and the hawks occupying the mountains?

"You heard what Xia Shu said just now, it starts tomorrow." Zhuo Yan finished speaking vaguely, and reassured Zilan not to cry, "It will get better. And why did you put the soap I gave you in your basket again?" Come back?"

"I agreed to treat you to rice dumplings, but I can't accept your soap."

Zhuo Yan said, "Okay." He didn't force it.

Zilan felt much better after saying what she had hidden in her heart. She had told Ruohuang before, but of course she had not mentioned the matter of her father being beaten. She thought it was a shame. Ruohuang said that she thought too much. No matter how powerful the Yingren were, they lived on the top of their mountain. Why do you come to the mountain top of our Golden-head tribe? Moreover, this place is full of mountains. You can live on any mountain, but the mountains of the Peacock Tribe are still in ruins.

Work hard, sow seeds diligently, and harvest in autumn. Don't think too much.

Ruohuang thinks that compared to Zilan who said that the eagle people occupied their mountains, the eagle people are very bad, but they should remember the lazy lessons of the peacock tribe and be diligent.

In the evening, Ah Yin, Ah Tou and Da En came back, carrying a few plump birds in their hands. Zilan's eyes widened when she saw them, and Zhuo Yan was a little embarrassed.

"Can't this be eaten?"

Zi Lan carefully distinguished it, shook her head and said, "It's not our five races, and they are all birds, not feathered people."

After saying this, Zi Lan still couldn't bear it, so she proposed to leave.

Zhuo Yan handed the basket back and sent Zi Lan away. Dan A Yin and others started lighting fires and went to the river to clean up the birds. There was a bird with gray feathers that looked like an eagle - naturally smaller than that one. There were a lot of them, and Sang Long liked them the most. He said they would eat this after a while.

It seems that the lion tribe is going to leave, and the tiger tribe leader also knows that the eagle tribe can't bear it any longer. Not only the eagle tribe can't bear it anymore, but the tiger tribe doesn't want to make a show, and they are starting to catch birds at the edge of their tolerance.

Previously at the Feathered Market, the Four Fur Tribes wanted to exchange salt, so they dared not eat birds. Of course, they didn't like to eat this either. Birds didn't have much meat and were only feathers. But now the Tiger Tribe went out to catch birds, which was a provocation. .

"Brother, I brought a rabbit back. If you don't like this, let's eat roasted rabbit." Ah Yin took out the rabbit.

Zhuo Yan took a look and said, "I can do it... I've been out for a long time, and I really miss our rabbit. I don't know if the tooth pig and chicken are here. It must be the rainy season now, right?"

"Absolutely." Aman was eating roasted bird wings and said, "Zhuo Yan, this tastes a bit like chicken wings, not bad."

"Then let me try it!"

Zi Lan wasn't there anyway.

...

The Yingren clan is confident, but it has only been eight days.

"The tiger people have been here for eight days, why haven't they come over to ask about changing the salt?"

"Yes, even the lion people are not in a hurry."

Several male and female eagle people gathered together to talk. They are all birds. They were squatting on the big branches, among which the leader of the Eagle Men squatted the highest. From their position, they looked down at the cave where the orcs lived.

The chief of the Yingmen clan stared at the short entrances of the caves and did not speak. The subordinates in the clan chattered: "What's even weirder is that neither the werewolf nor the leopard man came this year.", "The leopard man is here.", "Those sub-orcs and two orcs, and all the goods they brought are useless. "What did you change?" "Those old guys from Yanren made a bamboo mat." "I also went to Diao Ren for

some salt.

" No, I asked Diao Feng and he didn't dare to tell lies to us.

"

It's really strange. "

The clan leader squinted his eagle eyes and waited for a while. A small golden-headed bird flew to the branch of the tree next door. It was much lower and said, "The lion clan is leaving tomorrow."

"Leaving?"

"They are leaving ." Are you leaving even if you don't even get the salt?"

"Where are the tiger men?"

said the young male from the Golden Head Tribe, "They are still eating—"

"What are these orcs eating every day?"

"Eating birds."

"!!!"

Hearing this, the Yingmen clan leader's narrowed eyes flashed with venom. These tiger men were looking for death and actually confronted him. "I gave them eight days, and they never stopped. Lower your head, then open the shop tomorrow and tell the lion tribe that we will open the shop tomorrow and produce salt."

"The Lion Tribe knows it, and the Tiger Tribe must know it too."

"Yes, let the Tiger Tribe wait and hurry."

The subordinates of the Eagle Tribe saw that the leader was angry, and flapped their wings and flew to the Lion Tribe's cave to deliver the news. This night, there were feathered men squatting on the treetops not far from the cave entrances of the lion and tiger tribes, either eagle men or wild goose men.

It's even scarier than... Zilan thought. The Golden Head Tribe is weak, and some timid Golden Head Tribe people are afraid of the Ying Men's power, so they will take the initiative to run errands for the Ying Men, hoping that the Ying Men will not bully them.

Not only the Golden-Headed Clan, but also the Yanren and the Eagle People, but the Eagle People want to earn more skins and good things with the Eagle People, and the only one who doesn't have it is the Peacock Clan, because the peacock... is too useless.

One of the two caves is the Lion Tribe.

"Clan leader, Yingren is here to tell you that tomorrow Yingren's shop will open and the salt will be exchanged." The

lion clan leaders all heard this and glanced at the clansmen. Some clansmen breathed a sigh of relief, some clansmen were undecided, and some clansmen passed by. For more than half a month, I just wanted to exchange salt and return to the tribe as soon as possible. The tribe and their relatives still have them.

"Chief, why don't we change some? Maybe the Leopard Man Tribe doesn't have enough salt."

"Yes, why not change some this year and go to the Leopard Man Tribe next year."

"Yes, the Leopard Man Tribe is too far away. If we go now, we should hurry up. I don't know if I can come back in autumn..."

Everyone was talking about it. One person wanted to go back to the tribe, thinking that he would trade it with the Eagle Man this year, which also ignited the desire of others to return to the tribe. Natsuki, as a sub-orc, stood in the corner. She was unwilling to trade in the hands of the hawk people. She wanted to go to the leopard people.

And she thought that the clan leader should think so too.

After a long discussion, the leader of the lion tribe looked at everyone seriously and said, "Do you remember? We are the four fur tribes of the grassland and forest."

The originally noisy cave suddenly became quiet.

"Our tribe has learned a painful lesson about not having salt. In the past, I have always put my tribe first. I watched the Tiger Tribe being made things difficult for the Eagle Tribe, and I watched the Werewolf Tribe and the Leopard Tribe humbly negotiate with the Four Feather Tribes to exchange salt. Their clan leader and I, too, put my tribe first, so I can endure humiliation and unfairness."

"But now, salt is no longer unique to the feather people. How can we, the lion people, abandon our fur because of some distance and convenience. "Four tribes?"

"It's been a long time. Have you forgotten that the lion-man orcs are the brave men of the grassland? Don't you have the courage to be as timid as those hyenas?"

Now everyone, including the cubs, understood. He is a lion-man tribe and is the king of the jungle and grassland. He should not be afraid of the feathered people.

"We are not afraid."

"We will not exchange salt with the Ying people!"

"Yes!"

The clan leader: "Tomorrow, it is still the original plan to bring the cubs and sub-orcs back to the tribe..." And with the salt sent by Zhuo Yan, they The tribe will definitely have nothing to worry about in the next few months. Even if they are delayed and go back to the Leopard Man to get salt, it will be enough.

Another cave, Khajiit.

"...They are opening a shop? Just in time." Hawa glanced at the orcs he brought, "Tomorrow, when they all arrive, we will take action." Dan

's eyes were slightly red, this time he was excited, he was waiting for this moment Too long.

This is true for all the orcs of the Khajiit tribe.

No one asked how the lion people were doing. They didn't care. They only cared about taking revenge tomorrow and killing those familiar hawk people who were out and guarding the shop.

Some people even said, "Should we set fire to the Eagle Clan's mountain?"

"First capture the Ying Clan leader. I will personally cut off his wings and kill him." Hawa said fiercely.

Two big birds far away from the cave entrance flapped their wings and flew away.

Two birds quacked, and the lion people said that salt was not unique to their feather people? Haha, how could it be possible? I don't believe it. Can those furs grow wings and fly to the seaside? It must be to coax the clan members, so I won't tell the clan leader about this.

Soon the leader of the Ying people heard the intermittent news. He didn't care whether the lion people changed the salt. Anyway, it was not his people who died. The lion people had no backbone before, but this year they have become stronger.

"Let them go and ignore them."

"What did Hawa of the Tiger Tribe say?"

Yuren, who had just grown up, said tremblingly, "Hawa said that he was going to break your wings, the leader of the Eagle Tribe. "

The leader of the Eagle People just heard it. When he heard it again, the eagle's eyes were sinister and deep, "Okay, I am really here to take revenge this year. I want Hava to be my dog ​​to ride on. Don't the four prairie fur tribes hate hyenas the most? Haha. From now on, they will be my hyenas, otherwise the whole clan will not be able to eat anything."

"Chief, why don't you go tomorrow and let's go check out the situation first?"

"What are you afraid of? Do they really dare to break my wings? Don't forget, last year the stupid orc just touched your wings, and Hawa broke the orc's legs himself. "The Eagle Clan leader didn't believe that the tiger people really dared to do this. .

He was just pretending to be powerful. He wanted to subdue these tigers with his own hands and beat them into obedience. He didn't believe it. There were so many tigers and orcs coming. Didn't they have cubs or partners and didn't want to bring them some salt? Are they going to let Hawa act impulsively and cause trouble for him?

He has so much salt -

"Tomorrow, the tiger tribe will have a new leader."

That night, the lion tribe and the tiger tribe did not sleep well, and they were both a little excited. Zhuo Yan was lying in A Yin's arms, soundly asleep. He ate millet dumplings and grape berries today, and there was barbecue in the evening, which was so delicious.

Ah Yin heard the conversation next door and originally wanted to tell his brother, but seeing his brother sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, lowered his head and kissed his brother on the mouth.

My brother slept soundly. I'll tell him tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

Birds were chirping, Zhuo Yan stretched himself out and got up, Ah Tou was not there in the cave, Xiao Xian was lying around and occupying a bamboo mat to himself, as was A Man, but A Man was also awake and was sorting out the rattan basket.

"Brother, are you awake?"

Zhuo Yan hummed, and he was in a good state of mind after a good sleep. He smiled and said, "Yes, I slept so soundly. Where is Ah Tou?"

"Ah Tou woke up before dawn. He came and hurriedly went to the tiger cave next door. "Aman was still surprised that he was woken up by the noise, but he also slept well.

Zhuo Yan:? He couldn't help but look at Ah Yin. Ah Yin and Ah Tou played well, especially in a strange place. The two became closer partners. Ah Tou would tell Ah Yin almost anything he wanted to do.

"Brother, the tiger man said in the cave yesterday that he would break the wings of the eagle man clan leader today." A Yin said.

Aman's eyes lit up when he heard this and he clapped his hands. Xiao Xian, who was asleep, kicked his legs but still didn't wake up. Zhuo Yan gave him a look, telling everyone to speak lower.

"And the Tiger Tribe said they were going to set fire to the Eagle Tribe's mountain -"

"Fuck!" Zhuo Yan blurted out in shock, "Set fire to the mountain and sit at the bottom of the prison!"

These mountains are all connected, and the weather is dry now. If you really want to When the fire breaks out, other tribes will also be affected - this is not possible.

Xiao Xian woke up completely, rubbed his eyes and said in confusion, "Brother Zhuo Yan, what do you want to wear?"

"Nothing." Zhuo Yan was a little anxious.

Ah Yin hurriedly said: "It's just that an orc from the Tiger Tribe said so. If the Eagle Tribe leader doesn't go to the shop and can't catch it, he wants to set it on fire, but the Hawa Patriarch hasn't agreed yet."

"That's fine, that's fine. The two tribes are in conflict and fighting. None of us will help. But setting fire to the mountain would be too much. There are not only the Eagle people in the mountain, but also other lives." Zhuo Yan originally didn't want to join in the fun. Now I thought about it and said, "Let's go, Xiao Xian, don't sleep anymore, clean up and go out."

A Man, a spectator, had already dressed and was gearing up.

Xiao Xian groaned again, and A Man rubbed his head. Xiao Xian hugged his head and suddenly woke up. Everyone went to the stream to clean up hastily, and walked to the Eagle Man's shop with rattan baskets on their backs. There were no tigers on the road!

"Are we late?" Zhuo Yan was a little anxious. He glanced at the top of the mountain and ran away if he really got hot.

Seeing that her brother was worried, A Yin quickly said: "No, the tiger people just left my brother."

"That's good."

Xiao Xian didn't know what happened from beginning to end, he just followed everyone and asked, and A Man explained in a few words: " Don't ask. The tiger man is going to fight with the eagle man. Zhuo Yan is afraid of burning the mountain

. "I won't give in, I'm afraid the mountain will be burned." Aman said. Xiao Xian nodded and ran along. Everyone ran and jogged and finally arrived at the Yingren's shop. The two small shops of the Yingren were surrounded by tiger-man orcs. The lion-man tribe only had five orcs on one side, and among them was the lion-man clan leader. The sub-orcs, cubs, and some orcs are all gone, and they should be back on their way. Ah Tou came out of the crowd and saw them at a glance. The two sides came forward to meet each other. Ah Tou said regretfully: "They didn't let me stand inside and watch. I also wanted to see how they beat Yingren." "I didn't ask you to watch." Right." Zhuo Yan said. Tiger people are really quite loyal. The orcs were tall and blocked in rows. Zhuo Yan and Aman Xiaoxian couldn't see what was going on inside. A Xin'er was very strong and taught his brother what to say: "Yingren said: This year among the four Yuren tribes, only Yingren has any money." The tigers and beasts didn't bring the salt from other tribes. Don't you want to take this bag of salt back?" Zhuo Yan: "The free one is the most expensive." The tigers and beasts stood together. Platoon, eyes fixed on the Yingren clan leader who was speaking. "'If you accept this bag of salt, I can make one of you the next leader of the Khajiit tribe. I will not give Hawa a salt, nor will the entire five feathered tribes. If you, the Khajiit tribe, want to eat salt in the future, Then let's find a new clan leader." Ah Yin said. Zhuo Yan: Despicable, even sowing discord. The innermost side of the front. After these words were finished, it was quiet for a long time. No orc from the Khajiit tribe came forward, spoke, or responded. They were obviously unmoved. The leader of the Eagle people stared at the leader of the Tiger people with a sinister look. He changed his mind. It seemed that Hawa still had some abilities, so he should think more about his people. The bag of salt in his hand gently shook open. The salt flowed down like gravel. "Do you want it? Think about your people and the future of your tribe. Are you willing to sacrifice for a lame young orc?" , Do you want the entire tribe to die and go crazy because they don't have salt to eat?" "Hahaha, you may not remember that the lion tribe did not change salt before, and many of them died because the orcs became crazy and violent and attracted a tide of beasts, and they all died. " Do you, the Tiger Tribe, want to be the second Lion Tribe?" "Now, turn into your beast form and kneel in front of me." Hawa said nothing, staring at the Eagle Tribe leader calmly. The eyes of the Yingmen Clan leader were full of rage, "You have seen, is a Clan Leader who doesn't care about the lives of your entire clan worthy of being your Clan Leader? He doesn't even want salt..." Quietly, something flew in the air behind the Yingmen Clan and landed on the eaves. There were the Yanren, the Golden-headed Tribe, the Eagle Man, the Eagle Tribe leader standing on the ground, and his favorite right-hand man - on the opposite side were the Khajiit orcs, with Hawa standing at the front. The lion man is sandwiched in the side corner. When the Eagle-man clan leader threatened the humiliated Tiger-man clan leader, the Lion-man clan leader on the side clenched his fists, as did the four orcs behind him - the four fur clans should unite together. In this atmosphere, Hawa took a step back and transformed into his beast form. The solemn and cold atmosphere that had lasted for a long time was broken by the hahaha smile of the Yingren clan leader. He won. The tiger leader bowed his head. He knew that as long as there was salt, no matter what the lion people, what could the tiger people do, they were not going to kneel in front of him, but they also wanted to kill him? "Hahahahaha." The next second, Hawa's sharp claws pounced on the head of the hawk-man clan leader, and the orcs behind him swarmed up.

Chapter 74

A harsh cry sounded.

In the chaos ahead, there was a faint sound: "No!"

Hawa, the leader of the tiger people, pressed his paw on the head of the eagle people. There was only a crisp sound of "click", accompanied by the frightened cry of the eagle people next to him. "No, but haha" Wa didn't give any room for the hawk to stop him from speaking. He only heard the clear tearing sound and a parabola of something thrown into the air.

This was like a signal. In an instant, the humanoid hawk standing behind the hawk clan leader watched helplessly as a group of orcs leaped into the air, transformed into beast forms, and rushed towards them.

A fight.

Screams, the smell of blood.

When the Yanmen, Golden-Headed Tribe, and Eagle Tribe on top of the shop saw this change - it was so fast, the Tiger and the Tiger Tribe tore off the wings of the Eagle Tribe leader and threw them away - they were so frightened that they forgot The tiger man flew forward, and the tiger man rushed over, and his sharp claws directly grabbed all the frightened people on top.

Some of the eagle tribesmen on the ground escaped from the claws of the tiger men and turned into bird shapes and spread their wings to fly. In the next moment, a giant tiger rushed over and quickly and accurately pinned the eagle under its claws. .

...

The space was small and the attack was sudden. The eagles had no chance to escape and fly away. However, there were too many orcs and tigers, so the eagles turned into bird forms and were pushed to the ground.

The tiger's roar shook the mountains and rivers.

In addition to the chirping of birds, there are also human voices, screams and begging for mercy echoing in the mountains...

Ah Yin protected his brother and backed away. Not long ago, Ah Tou was dissatisfied with the tiger orcs for driving him out, but now he saw big black wings being thrown out of the air. , stunned for a few seconds, he saw the Hawa clan leader, forcibly tearing off the arm of the Yingman clan leader, blood dripping, scattered in the air, the arm fell to the ground,

the Yingman clan leader was originally in human form, lost His arms were rolling on the ground in pain, but his head was pressed by the tiger's claws, turning into a bird shape and struggling, hissing and quacking at the top of his lungs.

Hawa, the leader of the tiger tribe, tightened his claws and tore the eagle's head into pieces with his sharp nails.

Zhuo Yan stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Xian's eyes. Xiao Xian was so frightened that his face turned pale. When he saw that A Man was not much better, he hurriedly watched the fun when he came out. Now...

this scene is really a bit strange. Not suitable for viewing.

It's so tragic.

The eagle tribe is not enough to look at in front of the tiger. In order to strengthen his reputation this time, the leader of the Yingren tribe brought out all the young and middle-aged men with high martial arts in the tribe, as before. There were more than forty people, and now they became the prey of tigers.

Hawa led his tribe, the orcs, to declare war on the eagle people, declaring war with blood.

Ah Yin stood in front of his brother, meaning not to look, but he didn't look. The screams were ringing in his ears. When everything returned to calm, blood flowed on the ground, and the hawk-man turned into a bird-like corpse and scattered in pieces.

Hawa roared, and all the orcs roared into the sky.

The birds of all races that came after hearing the sound were circling in the air, not daring to lower themselves at all. Seeing the tragic scene below, they chirped and screamed, and then flew farther away.

Hawa turned into a human form. He was naked and covered in blood mixed with the feathers of the eagle people. His eyes were still red from the fight just now. He looked up at the feathered people from several tribes surrounding him in the sky.

"Today, we, the tiger people, are taking revenge on the eagle people. In the past, their clan made things difficult for us tiger people. Today we kill the strongest eagle people in their tribe. I, Hawa, am here to say that if you are brave, the eagle people can come and take revenge. The tiger people are not afraid. "

The tiger-man and the beast-man transformed into human forms, all shouting that the tiger-man is not afraid.

The sound echoed across the valley and sky.

Hawa did not destroy the Eagle People's clan, nor did they agree to set fire to the mountains. The forests and grasslands had their own principles, and they were not afraid of being sought for revenge. Today, their claws were stained with the blood of the Eagle People, so they were not afraid of the descendants of the Eagle People coming to seek revenge. hatred.

The tiger people soaked in blood and eagle feathers, and went to the stream to take a bath in their animal form. They were leaving here.

Zhuo Yan knew that he had not come back to his senses for a long time. Not only was the air filled with the pungent smell of blood, but also the feathers attached to the broken limbs and the broken bird heads. He stared at the sky with his eyes open.

The body of the Yingren clan leader has been unable to be found.

He felt a little nauseous and dizzy. He knew that the weak and the strong in this world were one thing, but it was another thing to see it head-on.

"Let's... let's go find the stone." Zhuo Yan said in a hoarse voice.

Xiao Xian was distraught and dumbfounded. A Man held Xiao Xian's hand, Ah Tou walked at the end, and A Yin guarded his brother. Everyone walked towards Kong Xingxing's shop in silence.

There were flying birds overhead in the sky. They didn't dare to get too close to them and stared at them with fear and vigilance. Zhuo Yan felt the strong gaze above his head. Needless to say, in the next few years, the Yuren would no longer welcome the orcs.

It's not that they're not welcome...but that they're afraid.

Before they reached the door of Kong Xingxing's shop, Shitou had already come out. They met each other. Shitou said, "Kong Yue talked to Kong Xingxing. I know that the leader of the tiger people killed many eagles with the orcs."

"Yeah." Zhuo Yan said, "There are some other tribes that are also implicated."

Shitou turned his head and looked at the garden, "We should go back."

"Yeah."

It's not convenient to stay here anymore.

Shitou looked back and said, "Zhuo Yan, I want to give the salt to Kong Xingxing."

When he went out here, he carried the basket with him. Zhuo Yan and the others also took it with them when they left in a hurry. At this moment, Shitou handed the basket over and Shitou got it, "You guys go Wait for me in the forest outside the market."

"No, we'll wait for you here." Zhuo Yan was afraid that Yu Ren would come over and block the stone.

Shitou understood and said no more. He took the basket and entered the garden. Soon Shitou ran out, "Let's go .

"

Together we walked outside the Feathered People Market. There were more and more Feathered People in the sky. The arriving Eagle People circled and screamed, and some of the Eagle People swooped down and pecked them with their sharp beaks.

Ah Yin roared, transformed into an animal form, stretched out his sharp claws and rushed towards him, knocking down the young eagle-man and throwing him under his claws. The eagle turned into a human form and was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Seeing this, the other hawks in the sky jumped down regardless of the danger, and turned into a woman when they landed, crying for her son's life.

"You hate the tiger people for killing your clan leader. The tiger people have also killed people because of your clan." Ayin's beast form said human words and released its claws, "Also, we are the leopard people clan." Protecting The elder brother turned and left.

On land, the hawks are no match for the orcs.

Stone walked among them absentmindedly, and Kong Xingxing's figure in the distance disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers.

Outside the market forest, the tiger people's hair was a little wet, with the smell of blood and chills. They were already waiting outside. When Dan saw the leopard people coming out, he stood up and walked towards Aman. Aman subconsciously took a step back, and Dan stopped. .

The stone climbed onto Sang Long's back indifferently.

Aman saw Dahn's drooping tail and the figure carrying him away, so he called to Dahn, and finally Aman sat on Dahn's back. Xiaoxian got on the second brother's back.

This year's feathered people's fair ended in a hurry, and the orcs left the feathered people's territory.

They ran for two days in a row. During this period, there were some flying birds in the sky from time to time, many of which were hawks. However, they did not dare to come down. They just circled in the sky and whined, making sharp calls. So they rested on the road for a short time, and everyone kept silent. During the battle between the man and the hawk, they just ate in silence and then set off.

A day and a half later, they arrived at the ramie field.

The ramie seeds are ready to be harvested. Zhuo Yan and the others are here to collect the seeds. The tiger-man and lion-man have temporarily set up a warning nearby. At this time, the figure of the eagle-man can still be seen in the sky.

Hawa looked up at the hawk flying high in the sky, and just smiled coldly, "If you have the ability, come down. We tigers are not afraid."

The hawk made a strange cry.

Ah Yin always guards his brother, and Ah Tou is no exception. Da En and others also come to help collect seeds. Zhuo Yan has changed some bamboo tubes here, which are suitable for holding seeds.

"Fortunately, I finished changing things a few days ago," Zhuo Yan said.

Shitou looked at the Eagle Man in the distance and said, "What do they want to do? Follow us all the way back to the tribe?"

"...Of course not. After leaving this place, it will be much more dangerous in the grassland. When the orcs hunt, , these hawks can scream to scare their prey, and they can also attract other large prey," Zhuo Yan guessed.

Shitou: "Have they never been to the grassland? Don't they know that there are vultures above the grassland? Those things are no weaker than their eagle people -" He looked up at the sky and shouted at the top of his voice: "You guys go back quickly."

replied Shitou. There was only a series of high-pitched screams.

Shitou stopped talking and picked the seeds carefully.

A few people spent a day searching through this patch of ramie with seeds, and collected everything they could. The weather was sultry and hot, and in the evening the orcs hunted prey, such as rabbits.

Xiao Xian shook his head and refused to eat. Zhuo Yan actually had no appetite. He didn't want to eat barbecue anymore, so he ate some berries to fill his stomach. Shitou ate his food happily and glanced at the two of them, "You, and Aman, didn't say anything the whole way out of the Feathered Market. Is it because you saw the tiger-man orc and the eagle-man fighting, and it was hard to see them all dead?"

" You all know and still ask," Aman slowly ate a bite of meat.

Shitou first looked at Xiao Xian and said, "Have you ever seen A Yin being trampled by a horned ox when he was a white-haired boy and vomiting a lot of blood." Then he looked at A Man and said, "A Lei was trampled to death by a mammoth. Big Tooth You also killed the mammoth cub, and you ate a lot of meat."

Finally, he looked at Zhuo Yan and said, "Either the eagle man dies or the tiger man dies. The hawk man is so cautious, and if the tiger man dies from injury, they will definitely not do it. Leave us alone."

The strange cry of the hawk in the sky seemed to prove that Shitou was right.

"And if we didn't have salt, what the Ying people did, but regardless of whether the four tribes of us could eat salt and survive the winter safely, most of the tribe would have died."

Shitou was frank about this matter . No impact. Zhuo Yan believed that even if Shitou was there and saw that scene, he would still live his life as he should. He thought for a moment and said, "We all understand the truth. The scene was a bit scary at the time."

"Yes, plus there are always hawks screaming up there, which makes me so annoying that I can't eat anymore." Aman said.

Xiao Xian nodded.

However, it seemed that the stone had opened the door, and we set off at midnight that day. In the following days, everyone regained some energy and could eat, sleep, and talk. The farther they ran, the fewer and fewer the hawks were following them in the air. When they reached the border of the grassland, there were only two instead of a dozen.

Those two were very annoying. They kept hovering high in the sky and making strange screams. The orc hunting was interrupted several times. Hawa, the tiger man, stared at the two eagle men with cold eyes. The two hawk men shouted strangely at Hawa in the air to provoke him.

Until this day, Hawa and the lion-man clan leader still led the hunting team. They hunted the horned sheep, but did not eat them. They scratched the horned sheep. After being exposed to high temperatures, the horned sheep gave off a rotten smell, which first attracted the hyenas... ...

There was a sharp cry in the air, and a huge shadow swooped down.

Zhuo Yan and A Yin were all behind the slope in the distance.

Shi Tou ate hard dried meat - it was dried from prey caught a few days ago. It was only dried for one noon. It was rubbed with some salt and slightly roasted. It would smell a little bit, but Shi Tou couldn't bear to part with it. Throw it away, slowly grind your teeth, now open your mouth, reveal a white tooth smile and say: "I told you, there are vultures."

"Those two eagle men, it's best to run away." Ah Yin said.

Zhuo Yan and others looked into the distance, because the lion-man clan leader and Hawa led the orcs to guard the rotten-horned sheep. These hyenas did not dare to step forward rashly. The vultures stared at the side. After waiting for a while, the hyenas became more and more fierce. There are many, but there is only one vulture.

The lion-man chief and Hawa left with the orcs. As soon as they left, the group of hyenas rushed towards them. There were too many hyenas and the horned sheep were small. The vulture made a sharp cry and pecked at the hyenas with its sharp beak, but the hyenas remained unmoved and just cared. Eat the delicious food in front of you.

The vulture watched helplessly as all the delicious food was eaten. Its stomach was still hungry, and it instantly became irritable. The eagle-man was still flying in the air watching all this, but little did he know that the furious vulture had already noticed them.

"Gone," Hawa said.

Everyone set off again without stopping. Shitou turned over and sat on Sang Long's back, quietly throwing away the handful of dried meat. Zhuo Yan was right, it smelled bad and was not tasty.

...

The eagles were attacked by vultures. These were two eagles who had just grown up. They were still very young. Their uncle was killed and torn apart by tiger-men and orcs. They did not listen to the advice of their elders and vowed to Killed a Khajiit.

They chased all the way, but they couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Seeing the ferocity of the tiger man's prey, they didn't even dare to let go, so they could only chase all the way until one day they met a vulture. It was a very big vulture, about the same size as them. He chased them like crazy and pecked them.

The figure of the eagle man disappeared.

Zhuo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief on A Yin's back.

Life was not easy on the way back, and they encountered several rains. They found shelter under the trees in the dense forest. Fortunately, there was no thunder or lightning in the rain that day.

Orcs hate rain and try to hide under large leaves. Ah Yin, however, protected his brother, stretched out his limbs as much as possible, let his brother stay in his arms, and protected him from the rain. Zhuo Yan was worried about the seeds in the basket. Fortunately, he changed to a bamboo tube, the lid was tightly stuffed, and it was wrapped in leather. It shouldn't get moldy... right?

"Fortunately, I still have a deerskin." Xiao Xian took the deerskin and Aman hid underneath.

The stone was covered with a rattan basket on his head, and he held a piece of leather in his arms. Inside was his necklace, which he protected tightly for fear of getting wet with rain.

The leader of the lion people secretly made a note of the rainy season in this grassland, and he should avoid it next time, otherwise he would be soaked in salt. He asked Hawa about the salt of the leopard people, but Hawa told him nothing. : "The Leopard Men are very good people. This is the salt found in their territory. It's up to them to tell you."

"But don't worry, the Leopard Men Clan is not like the Eagle Men."

Hearing this, the Lion Clan Chief felt more at ease. I was also secretly surprised in my heart. Hawa was a very arrogant orc who didn't care about anything. But now he sincerely defended the Leopard People. Even all the way back, Hawa also respected the sub-orc named Zhuo Yan from the Leopard People. .

It's... strange.

At this time, the lion-man clan leader glanced at the leopard-man sub-orcs from the air. Those sub-orcs were huddled under a big tree, laughing and chatting in the rainy day. The sub-orc named Zhuo Yan was hiding in the arms of his partner. Among them, his partner even raised his paws to block the rain above.

He looks like a very delicate sub-orc.

The rain in the rainy season came and stopped quickly, and Zhuo Yan looked at the frequency, and it should be the last few days of the rainy season. Sure enough, after running for a long time, it rained again late at night, but this time they left the forest and were on the grassland. I can bear it hard.

Fortunately, after the rain, the weather was much cooler and the grass was wet.

"Shitou, look at your necklace. It's not raining anymore. Take it out and let it air out. Be careful to cover up the smell." Zhuo Yan reminded.

Shitou listened to Zhuo Yan's words and immediately opened the leather and held the necklace with his hands. In the dark, the blue-green feathers were floating slightly in the cool breeze, which was very beautiful.

He missed Kong Xingxing.

Shitou leaned his nose close to smell the feather. In the darkness, no one looked over. Shitou kissed the feather with his mouth, as if kissing a person. But soon, Shitou put away the necklace and turned into an innocent Shitou again.

Everyone set off again and after running for another five days, they saw a familiar figure.

"Big Ya Hui!"

Even Ah Tou smiled happily when he saw Ah Hui.

The Leopard Man hunting team came up to greet them, everyone laughed and said hello. They had been away for a long time and missed them very much.

"Zhuo Rock Rock Aman Xiaoxian, how are you?"

"Everything is fine."

"Ada, how is Sister Qiao?"

"It's also fine. The tooth pig in your cave ran out during the rainy season, and one of the chickens died. , Joe ate it, the rabbits gave birth to a litter, and the rapeseeds were harvested..." Ada said.

Zhuo Yan nodded: "Just eat it, don't waste it." If Qiao didn't eat it, he would feel sorry.

The group of people talked a lot and returned to the tribe with the lion people. After the tiger tribe landed, they met the leader of the leopard tribe and said, "We are going back to the tribe."

"We are leaving without a day's rest?"

"No, we have been away for too long." Hawa was about to leave.

Dahn looked at Aman, and Aman also looked at Dahn, but neither of them said anything. The Khajiit orcs were about to set off, and Dahn was at the end and looked back at Aman, then ran away.

There are a total of five orcs in the Lion Tribe including the leader.

The leader of the Leopard People received them, and the uncle said: "Zhuo Yan, you have just come back, go back and have a rest."

"I know, uncle, leader, let's leave first."

When they left, they could still hear that the leader of the Lion People couldn't wait to ask Yan. Things, their clan leader said: "I guessed that you might come, I have already prepared salt, I will take you there..."

"We only took these goods this year. When we came here, we passed by during the rainy season and got caught in the rain, and the skin smelled a bit stinky." It was actually difficult for the lion-man clan leader to open his mouth. If these skins were placed in the feather-men market, the eagle-men would only laugh at them and would not exchange them for salt.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Leopard People said: "Okay."

"...Really?"

"Your clan is far away from us. Bring salt back first..."

Slowly, Zhuo Yan couldn't hear clearly. He and Ah Yin returned home. The familiar wooden door, stove shed, and fence of the livestock cave next door had been repaired. They should have been repaired by Qiao and Ada. The bubble leaf tree next to the crooked neck tree had been washed away by the rain and was a bit messy. Falling, but still growing vigorously.

It's so good to go back home!

Zhuo Yanke was happy. Ah Yin had already opened the door and put everything away, "Brother, there are a lot of bubble leaves on the table."

"Sister Qiao must have picked them up. She is very careful and economical." Yu Yu. It's so big that the leaves are washed off, but the leaves are still usable. Zhuo Yan stretched. Nothing in the house had changed, it was even clean, and the salt jar was filled. It must have been Qiao who came to clean from time to time and helped him get the salt.

Joe is great!

"It's just that I didn't exchange some gifts for Qiao this time." Zhuo Yan regretted a little. He exchanged them for some seeds and bamboo tubes.

Ah Yin squatted next to his brother and said, "When the seeds are planted, let me make rice dumplings for Qiao. Brother, you have told me many times how to make rice dumplings. Yuren's ones are definitely not as delicious as yours."

"Did you hear it?" Zhuo Yan thought about it for a moment. He didn't say that Zilan's cooking was not delicious. He just said that it could be improved, such as making it into mung bean steamed bread stuffing. There was nothing rude about that. At this time, he held Ah Yin's cheek. , "You are right, when the millet comes down, I will solemnly entertain Sister Qiao and Ada!"

Ah Yin raised his head and leaned over, kissing his brother on the lips.

Zhuo Yan was sitting and Ah Yin was squatting. The big one looked like a clingy puppy. Zhuo Yan was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm covered in sweat all the way. Please stop kissing me."

"Brother Xiang It smells good."

"It's better to go wash up and take a shower when it gets dark..."

The rainy season has passed, the sky is clear, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is a little bigger. The orcs in Tribelia cleaned up the territory temporarily left by the tiger people to rest, allowing the lion people to rest. The entire tribe did not change the same as when Zhuo Yan left, and everyone lived day by day.

The leader of the lion people saw the salt, the white salt, the same kind of white salt that Zhuo Yan brought them half a basket. The leopard people had a big basket. Several people were shocked and stood there, not knowing what to say.

The salt and skins they brought were simply not enough to replace.

Their skins have some flavor.

"The rainy season should be over. Our tribe has finished drying salt this year. You can take this salt with you. If you want to learn how to make salt next year, bring the sub-orcs and come here early."

"When you learn how, you want to You can bring the salt mud back to the tribe and make it yourself, or you can exchange it with us Leopard People."

The Lion Man Clan Leader seemed to not understand what the Leopard People Clan Leader said, "Do it yourself? Will you tell us the location of the salt mud?"

"Yes." The Leopard People couldn't believe it when they saw the leader of the Lion People. He had experienced it before and said with certainty at this time: "The salt mud land is very big. Zhuo Yan said that the salt mines underneath are very deep and the four of us can't eat it." Endless salt."

Endless salt. The lion-man clan leader was shocked again by these words. It took him a long time to understand why Hawa had such a temper and was respected by the leopard-man clan when he mentioned it.

A day and a half later, the Lion Tribe left with the salt on their backs. Because they were afraid of getting wet from the rain, they packed it tightly in leather. The rattan basket they brought was somewhat damaged, but the sub-orcs from the Leopard Tribe helped to repair and strengthen it.

In the grassland, five lions were running at lightning speed carrying rattan baskets on their backs.

The friendship between the leopard people and the lion people will be remembered.

Yuren Mountain of the Five Tribes.

The tragic scene in front of Yingren's shop more than half a month ago. The young Yuren who rushed over after hearing the sound was so frightened that he had nightmares for several days in a row. Zilan was like this. She glanced at it from a distance and was struck by Ah Mom and dad drove away.

The Feathered Market has closed its doors, and now there are blood stains on the stones and bricks in front of the Yingren shop.

"Stay away from the orcs from now on, they are too cruel."

"Aren't they afraid? Are those tigers afraid that we won't give them salt?"

The feathered man of the Golden Head Tribe whispered: "You are still saying this, Yingman The chief said the same thing as you. I heard that his head was crushed by the tiger's claws. "

"Fortunately, fortunately, they left.

" "The tiger people killed many eagle people,

every night . " Have

they not elected a clan leader yet?"

"It has been more than half a month, not yet, because... during the salt exchange, the Yingren clan leader wanted to teach the tiger people a lesson, so he brought many powerful people with him. The Ying people went, they were all dead, and now they are all young, old or stupid and weak."

Not only did the Ying people die more, five of the Ying people died, but the Golden Head clan and the Yan people were seriously injured. In the past half month, all five clans had their clan leaders and clan members discuss countermeasures. Forty-three Ying people died, and The entire Yingren clan, including the cubs, is only one hundred and sixty strong.

"Smash the market down there. We all live in the mountains. Next year when those stinky orcs from the grasslands and forests come, they won't give us any salt," said the leader of the Diaoren tribe.

When the Yingren tribe heard this, they were the first to agree. Their eyes turned red and they said angrily.

"Yingjia and his brothers chased those orcs, and were injured by vultures. If Yingjia hadn't been lucky, he would have died on the grassland."

"I hate these furry orcs, and even those stinky tall ones A sub-orc."

The eagle man vented his anger.

Kong Xingxing, who was sitting in the corner, said: "My garden is not allowed to be smashed."

Everyone looked at the source of the words. The head of the Diao people looked down upon him. This Kong Xingxing was the most beautiful in the Peacock clan and fascinated the most powerful female of their Diao clan. The males fought and quarreled over Kong Xingxing and stopped working.

"It's smashed." The leader of the Diao Ren clan affirmed.

Kong Xingxing was so angry that his face changed. He calmed down for a few seconds and suddenly said with a smile: "There was a conflict between the Ying people and the Tiger people before. You, the Diao tribe, said that you would not care about the matter and not interfere. As a result, the Diao tribe followed the leader of the Ying tribe and circled around, causing the Ying tribe to The people and the tiger people have a big feud. Now the leader of the Eagle people is dead. Chief Eagle, you are the largest clan in the five mountains. You want to take advantage of the chaos of the Eagle people. The leader is dead. Do you want to take care of the two mountains?"

"Ying people want to take advantage of it ? Are you following the Diao Clan?"

"Kong Xingxing, you're talking nonsense!" The Diao Clan leader was so angry that his face turned green.

"Then your surnamed Diao Shantou still wants to destroy the shops of the other four tribes of us?" Kong Xingxing asked back, then looked at the stupid faces of the Ying people and said: "You are the leader of the tribe who died, and there is a new leader. How come you are new?" The clan leader still needs to be arranged by the Diao Clan? Tsk tsk, when your clan leader was here, you were so powerful, and you want to take care of our other clans, but now you have fallen to this point?"

After hearing Kong Xingxing's words, Yingren looked at Diao in confusion. There was wariness and suspicion on the faces of the clan members. They were used to being majestic and could not stand the control of the four clans who once looked down upon them.

"We Yingren don't need to deal with the affairs of Yingren." Yingren said.

The Yanren and the Golden Heads heard the quarrel and did not dare to interrupt. They could only look at Kong Xingxing and say a few words, which made the Yingren and Diaoren turn their faces. In the end, the market was not destroyed, but they did not dare to open the door.

Kong Xingxing returned to his shop, followed by his younger brother Kong Yue, who kept saying: "Brother, why do you want to contradict the clan leader? She has disliked you for a long time. When the time comes, she will bully you. There is no one in our clan who will fight." Help you."

"You talk a lot."

Kong Yue: "I'm doing this for your own good, brother. There are only six of us in our clan. At the end of this year, everyone will go to live in other mountains. I don't want to go. The Eagle Clan doesn't want to go to the Eagle Clan. The Golden Head Clan is pretty good, otherwise you go with me to the Golden Head Clan."

"I don't like them, they are cowardly." "What about

the Dayan Clan?"

I'm too lazy to pay attention to them."

"Then, then--" Kong Yue knew that his brother hated Yingren and Diaoren, so where else could he go? He was so anxious that he almost cried, and said in a tearful tone: "Then let me go to the Diao tribe. They have a lot of salt, and I will secretly bring it to you."

The Jintou tribe is a nice people but also has little salt, so he will definitely not be allowed to secretly bring it to his brother.

Kong Xingxing glanced at his younger brother and opened his mouth: "It's so ugly for you to cry. It embarrasses me as a brother."

Kong Yue wiped her tears randomly, but she didn't feel aggrieved. His brother spoke like this but took good care of him. Kong Xingxing was sitting on the futon, her long green hair was flowing down, she was very beautiful, and she said lightly: "We have salt."

"Ah?"

"That fragrant black man gave me a lot of mating goods." Kong Xingxing Holding her cheeks, she felt a little irritated as she spoke.

These damn eagle people, eagle people, and even the golden-headed geese people are annoying.

All annoying.

Chapter 75:

For three days in a row, none of the friends came to see Zhuo Yan. Zhuo Yan and Ah Yin first took a bath in the river that night, washing them thoroughly inside and out. They trimmed each other's hair. Ah Yin's claws here are very sharp. You don't need a bone knife to trim your brother's hair. He scratched his nails and gave his brother a 'hairstyle'.

Of course Zhuo Yan said the word hairstyle.

Every time he trimmed Ah Yin's hair, from the first time he had it shaved, the whole head was messy and uneven in length, just like a dog chewing, to the subsequent times when he kept improving, he kept saying: This time it will be perfect, I Let me give you a hairstyle, my skills are improving...

Ah Yin also learned it. He cut his brother's hair short and trimmed the edges very carefully.

The two of them returned to the cave feeling refreshed that day. The mat passed by each other in the afternoon, and Zhuo Yan touched his stone bed. They fell asleep. The sleep was very long and solid, and they slept until about noon the next day.

Zhuo Yan didn't want to get up at all, so he stayed in bed with A Yin.

Traveling all the way is accompanied by dangers, but when you get home, you feel really at ease and safe.

The two chatted for a while, then roasted a few potatoes to eat when they were hungry. Zhuo Yan got up in the evening and began to pack the bags he brought back. Yesterday he just took apart the skins, but today he checked all kinds of seeds and they were fine. Put the lid on the bamboo tube and place it on the shelf.

These seeds will have to be planted after the snow season has passed next year.

Also, he and Ah Yin wore leather skirts together, which needed to be washed. A Yin said he was going to wash up, and Zhuo Yan lay lazily on the stone bed and said, "Don't worry, when it gets dark, let's go take a bath and rub ourselves together."

So the two of them stayed in the cave again, and Zhuo Yan It's like he has no bones. Ah Yin likes his brother like this because he is lying on his body!

In the evening, the two of them went out to cool off for a while. Ah Yin was carrying a basket of dirty leather bags, and all the bubble leaves that Qiao at home had packed up for them. When they arrived at the river, Zhuo Yan jumped into the river to play in the water. Yin first soaked the leather skirt and rubbed the bubble leaves to make foam.

"Come and play Ah Yin."

"Here comes brother!"

Ah Yin dropped the leather and ran into the river to compete with his brother in swimming. The brother swam very beautifully in the water. Zhuo Yan went to the deep water area, and Ah Yin turned into an animal shape, with only the upper part exposed when he surfaced. Zhuo Yan played with Ah Yin for a long time.

After the fun was over, the two rubbed their skins on stones by the river, washed them and went home.

He slept until three o'clock in the morning again, and until the evening of the third day, Zhuo Yan finally made up for the fatigue from this trip. On the fourth day, early in the morning, people were chatting under the cave entrance, the voices of Xiao Xian, Qiao, Shitou and Aman.

Very good, everyone is full of energy again.

Zhuo Yan got up, and A Yin also woke up. The two quickly exchanged today's information. A Yin was going to the patrol team to see. Zhuo Yan chatted with his friends in the morning, fished, and dealt with a casual meal. In the evening, if the clan leader Now, he is going to go to the clan leader to talk about the seeds.

"...and Yazhu, is he really gone? Not coming back?"

"Forget it, he won't come back if he doesn't come back. Fortunately, he wasn't cut off, otherwise he would have been bullied and discriminated against outside." Zhuo Yan said.

Ah Yin knew that his brother must be reluctant to let go of Yazhu. He went on patrol today and looked for it in nearby mountains and grasslands.

After the two of them went out with the bubble leaves, they went to the river to wash up.

The friends down the slope waved and said hello. Zhuo Yan said hello one by one and said he would wait for me to brush my teeth and wash my face.

"Then let me wash it too.", "Didn't you wash it?", "Hey, hey, I'm too lazy to wash it, that's just right, Zhuo Yan, give me a leaf.", "Brother Zhuo Yan, I want it too. I want it too. . "

Very good. Finally, the team went to the river to clean it again.

Ah Hui arrived early, followed Ah Yin, and said, "It's been so long, Ah Tou will definitely not come. Ah Yin, let's go on patrol."

"Okay, you wait until I finish cleaning.

" We still need to clean up." Ah Cang looked back guiltily.

After Ah Yin finished cleaning, Ah Tou also arrived. Ah Hui: ...how did it come so fast.

The three small groups were still having fun and went on patrol. Ah Tou and Ah Hui bickered, while Ah Yin was silent and thinking, wondering where his Yazhu was.

The tribe is very comfortable after the rainy season. The temperature is just right and there is not much work - planting potatoes has been completed in the tribe a few days ago, two days before Zhuo Yan and the others came back.

So now it is about a month until autumn, which is the most idle time. The orcs are divided into four teams, patrolling and hunting in shifts, and the sub-orcs can sleep in and be busy with things in their caves.

Zhuo Yan and the others were sitting and chatting under a tree by the river.

Aman and Xiaoxian mainly described their experiences at the Feathered Market, while Zhuo Yan added from time to time, talking about the Peacock Shop. Qiao regained his energy and said, "Are you guys going too? I was passing by and saw those beautiful flowers but didn't dare to go in. I heard that peacocks are very fierce and have a bad temper. They didn't speak well until they were about to leave. Ada and I just went in."

"The boss inside is very beautiful, Zhuo Yan."

Zhuo Yan showed a mysterious smile. Qiao knew what happened to Zhuo Yan and the others at Peacock Shop, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Have you seen that one? A green-haired peacock?"

"We have met before, but Shitou is different. Qiao, Shitou and Boss Kong have mated!"

Qiao looked at Shitou in surprise.

"Hey, let me tell you, Sister Qiao, Shitou captured Boss Kong on the first day I went there," Zhuo Yan said.

Qiao believed it, but she didn't expect it and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Zi Lan said that the peacock man is the most beautiful of the peacock tribe. Many eagle men are pursuing him, not only females but also males, but he has no one." Li, very arrogant, no one can look down on him."

Zhuo Yan couldn't help but click his tongue, Boss Kong is indeed very charming, not only attracting women, but also 'killing men'.

"Xingxing people are very sincere." Shitou said.

Not to mention Zhuo Yan, A Man, Xiao Xian, and Qiao all showed disbelief on Shitou's statement. Although Qiao only interacted with him briefly, she really remembered the other party's arrogant attitude deeply. .

Ada almost quarreled with the other party.

Shitou looked at the expressions of his companions and said, "Xingxing said whatever he wanted. When someone he hated came to the shop, he would look at them with cold eyes and say unpleasant things, making them angry and leave."

"He also treats people he likes. Very good."

Zhuo Yan: ...In a way, it is indeed 'sincere'.

"Why is he so good to you?" Aman extracted the key words.

Zhuo Yan: Yes, why didn't he notice?

Then several people looked at the stone again. Shitou sat there a little shy and said, "I asked him to stop talking and do more, and he would listen to me."

Zhuo Yan: I pinched Xiao Xian's ears. It's not suitable for children. Don't listen.

Xiao Xian's curious furry ears were exposed, and he shook his head to avoid Brother Zhuo Yan's hand, so the two of them started playing around like primary school students. Shitou was also happy and played with everyone, but finally said again: "Xingxing people are very good."

Zhuo Yan heard it, but didn't know what to say.

It seemed that Shitou still wanted Kong Xingxing, but the four fur tribes and the feathered people were in such trouble. When they left, except for the eagle people, other tribes were also staring at them with caution and fear. In the eyes of the feathered people, they did not care about the tiger people. They are still Leopard people, all in the same category.

I want to go to Yuren Market next year – it's so difficult.

No one brought stones.

Shitou noticed that Zhuo Yan kept looking at him, thought for a moment and said bluntly: "I like Kong Xingxing very much. At least I still want him to like him, but it's not a loss. Compared with Aman who didn't mate with Da En, I did with Xingxing." The mating lasted for eight whole days and eight and a half nights. "

Aman:...

"..." Zhuo Yan's brother Zhixin comforted him, but he didn't know what to say.

Qiao couldn't hold back her laughter. When she smiled, everyone laughed. Shitou felt much more open and relaxed about what he said in his heart. He said happily: "I don't know how long I will still like Xingxing. I don't care about the future. I can't imagine what will happen in the future. When I come back, I will Live your life without worrying about me. "

Don't worry about the future in advance, enjoy yourself in the moment, and be honest about your desires. This is what stones do.

Later, everyone stopped teasing Shitou and Boss Kong. When talking about exchanges, Xiaoxian took out his wind chime and showed it to Qiao. Qiao praised it and said, "This is very rare. I know, especially the bottom shells. Peacock Shop also has them, but " I won't exchange it for you."

"I exchanged this with Kong Xi. He's really nice and doesn't ask for much." Xiao Xian praised Kong Xi from beginning to end, and finally said with a sigh, "I knew I should have left the deer-striped leather to him." Yes, he still has two cubs. "

I will definitely not see him again.

A Man was making trouble: "It rained when you came back, but you said you were lucky to have deerskin."

Xiao Xian hummed, "It will be useful then."

Zhuo Yan said that he didn't bring a gift to Sister Qiao, but he brought a lot of seeds. When Xiao Xian Aman heard this, he told Qiao: "Zhuo Yan likes to eat sticky cakes made of yellow rice. He has changed a lot, but I think it's just average.", "It's a bit sticky, but it's actually not bad, but I think Others are more delicious."

"I have eaten it. Zilan made it for me, but I don't think it tastes good," said Qiao. So she didn't think about bringing seeds at that time. They were not as delicious as their tribe's potatoes. "So Zhuo Yan, you like this."

Zhuo Yan immediately swore with his skills: "Sister Qiao, believe me, when the millet comes down next year, I will cook it for you to eat!"

"Okay." Qiao agreed and smiled again. He said, "It doesn't matter if I don't bring any gifts. I wish you could come back safely."

Aman said, "That's true. On the last day, tiger-men and beastmen blocked the entrance of the hawk-men's shop and killed many hawk-men. Their blood flowed all over the floor. Later, Those feather people are staring at us in the sky, and the eagle people still want to tease us.

"Ah?" The sub-orcs not far away made a surprised sound, and then came over, asking Zhuo Yan and others: " It turns out this is true.", "We are Leopard people, not Tiger people, why are the Eagle people still harassing you?", "Then we can't go to the market, but there is nothing left in the market. "Salt, I won't go if I don't go."

The orcs in Tribelia were still concerned about whether Zhuo Yan and the others were injured. They were relieved after hearing that nothing happened. Everyone sat down and continued to talk about the tiger orcs and eagles. Little Aman Xian was shocked at the time, but now that he talked about it again, he could only sigh.

Everyone could hear exclamations coming and going.

Among the patrols, Big Tooth Ameng Ake also blocked the young orcs led by A Yin.

"Ah Tou said before that the tiger orcs killed a lot of hawks? Ah Yin, do you know how many you killed?" Daya asked.

Ah Yin thought about it carefully, "There were about forty people."

Ah Tou didn't even notice it, and his mind went blank at that time.

"The leader of the Yingren clan is really dead?" Ake asked.

Ah Yin nodded. Ah Tou said from the side: "I can't die anymore, my head was crushed by the tiger tribe leader."

"That's right!" Ah Meng said.

Ake said: "How many people are there in the Eagle Clan?"

"More than a hundred, I can't remember clearly." Daya replied casually, "The leader of their clan died, and he was also killed by the Tiger Clan. They can't run away. Our tribe is looking for trouble."

"That's right."

Ake nodded fiercely.

In the evening of that day, the hunting team brought back two zebras. Zhuo Yan went to the square to collect the meat after a long absence. He was very happy. After collecting the meat, the clan leader stopped him. Ah Yin was standing by with a rattan basket on his back.

Zhuo Yan took off the small backpack on his back, "Chief, these are the seeds I got in exchange for the skins you gave me. This is a grape seed. I found a berry on the way there. This is a ramie seed. I planted it." It needs to be tossed, and it can be made into clothes, which are stronger than those made from leaves. These are peanuts, mung beans, and millet seeds that were exchanged at the Yuren Market."

The patriarch has seen and eaten the last three, but he had never thought of them before. Can be planted into their tribe.

The clan leader looked at Zhuo Yan, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "You keep all the seeds. You can arrange when to plant them."

"I understand, clan leader." Zhuo Yan thought for a moment and said, "Our tribe is too cold in winter. These seeds need to be sown after the snow melts. "

Zhuo Yan has already prepared them. They will be planted every spring and harvested as the season progresses. Some of the seeds will be left for use in the next spring - ramie is a plant that cannot be harvested. He cut several crops, but he was afraid of freezing to death in winter.

The worst plan is to only use the first crop. Although the yield is lower, there are not many people in their tribe, so it will be enough. There are also grapevines. If the grapevines die as soon as the winter comes, their tribe will really not be able to eat grapes. There is no other way. It takes at least three years for grape seeds to grow into trees and bear fruit.

So, Zhuo Yan carried this basket of seeds and carried it back the same way.

The days that followed were boring and pleasant, and the weather gradually turned cooler. Before early autumn came, Zhuo Yan, A Yin, and their friends went out for an outing again. They could relax for a few days.

Soon the tribe will gather the prey and start making bacon and salted meat. When the meat is finished and the dudu fruits, potatoes and taro are ripe, they will dig these and find time to go to the mountains to pick chestnuts. In short, they will be busy for a while. Go to sleep as soon as you fall down.

So on a nice and sunny day, they went out for an outing.

Aman Xiaoxian all carried their bamboo mats on their backs. Aman's elementary school student brother kept making noises to come over. Aman warned: "If you run around, I will beat you to death."

"Don't worry Aman, I told Ayin that if he runs around, Ayin will beat you hard." After a while, Ah Yin agreed," said his father Huo Xia.

Brother Aman became much more well-behaved instantly.

After Aman heard this, he was eager to give it a try and looked forward to his brother running around mischievously. Zhuo Yan watched the whole process and just wanted to say: they are indeed brothers.

Shitou also brought Dayun and his younger siblings, two leopards that were only three or four months old.

Zhuo Yan was cute again.

"I'll hold him. What's your brother's name, Shitou?"

"Little Shitou." Shitou said.

"What about your sister?"

"Xiaoyun."

Zhuo Yan: ...Your parents were really perfunctory in naming her.

Shitou probably saw the words on Zhuo Yan's face and said: "My name is also my father's when he gave birth to me, because he was leaning against a tree by the river and grabbed a stone in his hand. They were between the stone and the big tree. "I chose the stone."

"The river is fine too," Aman complained.

Xiao Xian laughed out loud, saying that's what he said. Several people walked over. Four people, A Yin, A Tou, A Hui and A Da, were carrying heavy things on their backs. Zhuo Yan hugged the small stone for a while and then went to hug Xiao Yun. The little leopard was really cute, with squirting milk and even rubbing against it. He is just like a kitten.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, you really like cubs."

"Zhuo Yan will give birth next year."

Zhuo Yan: ... He heard Aman teasing him. He is not afraid now. He already knows that giving birth to cubs is not that easy. Yes, so he said happily and nonchalantly: "Yes, yes."

Aman had nothing to say in reply.

Stone laughed beside him. Qiao also said with a smile: "Aman, Zhuo Yan and A Yin are partners, and they are not as awkward as before."

A Yin in front heard his brother say, "Yes, yes," and his ears stood up and he smiled happily. Next, he added: "My brother and I are not in a hurry to have cubs."

"It's good to have cubs not too early." Ada understood very well, especially in spring, it would be better if there were no cubs in the cave.

Among the four orcs, only Ada has experience in forming partners. Along the way, A Yin asked A Da what he needed to prepare to get married. They had already dug out the hole and needed to catch some prey. He knew this.

"I want to wait until next spring to marry my brother." A Yin said.

Ada: "Animals multiply everywhere in spring, and there are fewer preys to hunt, and many migrations have not returned yet. Ah Yin, if you want to partner with Zhuo Yan, the best time is before the snow season."

"Wait until the tribe has finished storing food. , I can go hunting with you when I have a few free days. When the first snow comes, you hold a marriage ceremony. Throughout the winter, you and Zhuo Yan have been in the cave..."

As expected of a 'married man' Ada is indeed very experienced.

Ah Yinguang's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened to the description, "As the weather gets colder, will there be less prey?"

"This is indeed a problem." Ada was also thinking, "When I made a partner, I caught the most alone. Horned ox, its horns are very beautiful, what do you want to catch? "

A Yin is no longer the white-haired boy he used to be. He has never traveled far and is not familiar with the prey. He has hunted with a hunting team and seen the prey around the territory. You name it, reindeer, horned sheep, horned deer, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, zebra, mammoth, gray elephant...

"Are there any special ones? I want to get something special for my brother."

"You want to make some beautiful fur? "Prey?" Ada asked.

Ah Yin nodded. A'da couldn't think of anything else except the one-horned cow. "It might have to run a little further."

"You can ask the adults in the clan." A'tou said at this time.

Ada: "Then I'll go back and ask my grandma."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ah Yin thought that when he gets back, he will also ask Daya.

This time the group of people went to the upper part of the mountain. As long as they walked around the mountain and walked a little further, they arrived at a grassland. Because the river runs through it, there are some branches of the river here, and from time to time some small animals come here to drink water.

Ah Yin and Ah Tou caught sheep here. The people who come here are all ignorant herbivorous prey, and there will be no ferocious prey coming in - it's too close to the tribe.

The grassland is still green, the scenery is beautiful, and the water source is close. The group of people walked for at least more than two hours. When Aman saw it, he said: "Are we there? I won't leave until I leave."

"You can find a place to rest here. "Ada said.

Aman was going to get a bamboo mat to spread and look for a place. Ah Yin pointed to a place and said to go up there. It was slightly higher and had a clear view. Ah Yin also ran to check the back. There was nothing, so everyone just laid the ground. The mat is settled.

Those who drink water drink water, those who wash their faces wash their faces.

Zhuo Yan put Xiao Yun down, and Xiao Yun and Xiao Shitou were running and playing in the grass. The two little leopards were running around a little naively. Dayun looked like a younger brother and sister on the surface, but in fact they were just having fun together, but they ran a little farther. , Shitou's loud voice said: "Come back!"

Dayun and the two cubs ran back obediently.

They listen to their brother very much.

Shitou still has the majesty of an older brother.

They lay on the grassy slope, rested for a while, and then started to dig an earthen stove by the river to cook a pot of food. Qiao brought a lot of bacon, which Zhuo Yan gave her before going to the market. She ate it for a long time, There was some left, and I originally wanted to bring it to Zhuo Yan, but Zhuo Yan said no, there wasn't much left.

So I brought them all here this time.

While waiting for the meal, they sat together enjoying the breeze, chatting, and petting the little leopard. Shitou didn't wear the 'shirt necklace' today, not even the one Qiao gave him. Xiaoxian brought a wind chime and hung it on the treetop. There was a tinkling sound.

Shitou heard the noise and looked over, a little lost in thought.

There was a string hanging outside the door of Kong Xingxing's shop. They had mated inside the door several times. Kong Xingxing was knocked a little weak in his legs. The bamboo door kept creaking, and the wind chime also tinkled.

Kong Xingxing also said that the sound of these wind chimes was better than his.

Shitou didn't believe it. He was obviously shouting, and Kong Xingxing was even more excited. The sound of those wind chimes would not make Kong Xingxing any louder.

...Zhuo Yan is right, Kong Xingxing can be fake sometimes.

But more beautiful and cute. Shitou thought.

Both Zhuo Yan and Qiao noticed that Shi Shi was in a trance. They did not disturb Shi Shi as he looked at the wind chime and missed Boss Kong. They called A Man and Xiao Xian to come aside to talk and play. After the meal was ready, they asked Shi Shi to eat.

After eating, Shi Shi went to wash the dishes, and several people helped him.

"Shitou, what were you thinking about just now?"

"I miss Kong Xingxing." Shitou said to his friend, "I still like Kong Xingxing very much now."

"You don't need to comfort me. Maybe after the snow season, I won't miss him. "

Zhuo Yan: ...he doesn't feel like it.

As the name suggests, Stone Man is usually just a stone. Now that he is tempted, he bets that Stone will not forget Kong Xingxing for at least three to five years - mainly the single orcs in their tribe, and Stone doesn't like anyone he likes. And the contrasting Kong Xingxing is even better, which are all advantages.

Xiao Xian thought the topic of 'adults' was boring. He wanted to play eagle to catch the chicken, but because the eagle is bad, Xiao Xian strongly requested to change it.

"The peacock caught the little chirp." Shitou said.

Xiao Xian: ...

In the end, Xiao Xian agreed, and he was very happy. No matter what it was called, as long as everyone didn't sit here chatting in a daze, they could play peacock and catch chickens with him.

Dayun likes this game. He still remembers it. He told his younger brothers and sisters to run behind and not be caught...

This time it was Ada and Qiao who were the 'peacocks'. It was still Qiao who sat on Ada's beast-shaped back so that he could be caught . Live faster and have more fun.

In the second round, Xiao Xian and his second brother will also be 'peacocks'.

In the third round, it was finally Zhuo Yan's turn. Zhuo Yan sat on A Yin's back, gearing up and saying, "Let's catch Xiao Yun and Xiao Shitou first."

The two little leopards were so silly and cute.

"Catch Dayun again."

Dayun was so excited and happy, waiting to be caught that he didn't even care about his younger brothers and sisters.

"Catch Xiaoxian again!"

Xiaoxian: Humph, he can run fast so he won't be caught easily.

A Yin listened to his brother's instructions and caught whatever he said. He looked at brother A Man and screamed whether he should catch this kid.

"Okay, let him join the queue and arrange it behind Dayun."

The excited brother Aman immediately turned into a beast shape. Zhuo Yan: Hahahahahaha, it's so cute. He changed his mind again and arrested brother Aman's primary school student first.

So he lay on Ah Yin's back, covered Ah Yin's ears, and whispered.

The 'chicks' were all on alert, straining their ears to listen, but could not hear. As soon as it started, everyone started running wildly. Ah Yin, the last three furry cubs in the long queue, decisively picked up A Man's brother with one paw.

Brother Aman: Oooh, ooh, ooh, screaming like crazy.

Zhuo Yan: Hehehe.

Seeing Xiao Yun and Xiao Shitou standing stupidly motionless, Zhuo Yan bent down, lowered his arms and fished them all out, bringing them all into his arms!

The little leopard stepped on her breasts excitedly, meowing milkily.

Zhuo Yan: Lovely got rich.

...

After more than a month, the Lion Tribe finally returned to the tribe.

The journey between the two tribes was long, but it didn't take more than a month. It was the first time for the Lion Tribe to come to the Leopard Tribe. The route back followed the original route, making a long circle, and even reached the Feather Tribe's territory.

There were more feathered people in the sky, and the eagles and eagles screamed, and they also encountered a small attack - the leader of the lion people did not take this 'attack' seriously and regarded it as an attack, because those eagles When the man swooped down, the lion-man orc roared, half-standing in the air with his front paws, frightening the hawk-men to turn around and fly higher in the air.

In order to return to the tribe as soon as possible, the Lion Tribe ignored it. This time the Eagle Man's swooping also reminded the Lion Tribe leader that he didn't need to go around to the Feathered Market site and could feel his way back to the tribe. He remembered the direction of the tribe.

... When you go to the Leopard Man Tribe next year, you can start earlier and find a few closer roads, so you don't have to go all the way to the Feather Man territory.

One day later.

Feathered Market, Peacock Shop.

"Brother, I heard from the Eagle Man that among the Lion Tribe who came back from the north, only the Lion Tribe leader brought four orcs and carried a rattan basket." Kong Yue ran over and said.

Kong Xingxing held a green bamboo tube in his arms, touched the wall with his slender white fingers, and put the fine white salt into his mouth. Kong Xingxing tasted the salty taste: "As expected."

"Brother, as expected, what is it?"

"The black one from now on. The big guy Huhu is not coming." Kong Xingxing lowered his eyes and put the bamboo tube on the ground with a heavy sound.

Kong Yue was afraid that the salt would be spilled, so she hurriedly looked at it.

Kong Xingxing said: "What are you afraid of? There is nothing left after eating. You go find the Golden Head tribe, and I will hit the tree and die."

"Brother!" Kong Yue was about to cry when he heard this.

Kong Xingxing: "Stop crying, I'm annoyed."

"Brother, why did you change after the market was over? You said you were annoyed every time I came to see you. Is it because of that big guy?"

"What big guy? His name is Shitou." "Kong Yue, please speak up."

Kong Yue sobbed, wondering who was not speaking up.

Chapter 76

The tribe started to get busy.

The two hunting teams merged into one, traveled far and hunted, and brought back a lot of prey. A meat-drying rack has been set up at the kiln. Now the temperature is suitable, neither cold nor hot. From pickling to drying and smoking the meat, it takes only half a month. Last year, the entire tribe did two rounds.

Today, the orcs said one after another: "Zhuo Yan, can you make some bacon this year?", "I want to eat bacon.", "I also think bacon is delicious.", "Bacon is also good."

Zhuo Yan then Said: "I've done both of those." Bacon is easier.

"Can I add Sichuan peppercorns?"

"I like the taste. I asked my partner to dig one out in the forest and plant it at the entrance of our cave."

"I don't like it very much. I don't like this."

There are so many flavors and everyone has a choice. There were so many people talking, Xiao Xian was dizzy after hearing this, and A Man also had a big head. Zhuo Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's divide it into those with Sichuan peppercorns and those without Sichuan peppercorns."

"It won't be too much trouble . "Actually, I can also eat Sichuan peppercorns."

Zhuo Yan: "It's not troublesome."

Everyone started to divide the work. When stir-frying, Zhuo Yan really divided the meat into different areas. A Man said it was so troublesome. Do it together. Zhuo Yan smiled and said: "There are flavors to choose from, which means that our tribe is living a good life."

When Qiao heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Zhuo Yan, you said what I was thinking."

In the past, in order not to be hungry in winter Hell, everyone doesn't have much salt. They just rub salt on the meat. During the winter, it doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not. As long as it doesn't kill you, you can eat it. Now you have more choices.

"It seems like this." The corners of Aman's mouth turned up, and he would no longer say troublesome words.

Choice is a very free thing.

Although several people could not say it accurately, they all felt the joy of choice. In the smoked meat section and the bacon section, there are half and half sections with Sichuan peppercorn and non-Sichuan peppercorn flavors, and some are given to each hole.

I have been storing meat for more than a month.

There was a lot of prey brought back this autumn. In early summer, the werewolf tribe and the tiger tribe came to stay for a few days and hunted several times, which did not affect the abundance of prey in the autumn.

The orcs on the hunting team discovered this phenomenon.

"During the breeding season this spring, our tribe didn't hunt every day, and we ate bacon and potato pods for a long time."

"It turns out that what the tribe leader said was true."

"But there were no potatoes, bacon, and meat left to eat in the spring before. I can hunt."

Ah Meng nodded and said, "You know now, don't waste your prey, or you will be electrocuted next time."

It took a long time for someone to realize what Ah Meng meant, haha. Laugh, there was a fight between Dian and Maha in the tribe, and the old story passed down that the lightning that killed the waster was the thunder and lightning from the sky.

It was a pun, and the orcs laughed belatedly.

Maha became angry and furious, but he endured it, because the orcs were not allowed to fight in the tribe at this time, so he could only say harsh words: "When spring comes next year, I will fight with you."

"Then I won't fight with you."

" Are you scared? Ah Meng.

"No, I don't have a partner like you. In the spring, I want to live a good life with my partner in the cave."

The orcs watching laughed again. It was because he picked up Maha's sore spot and poked it. Maha is so tall and is not weak in hunting, but no sub-orcs like him. Ah Meng was victorious verbally and was grinning widely.

Maha swore that he would find the strongest orc in the tribe.

What's so great!

The orcs were resting and sitting around. Ah Hui and Ah Meng were all laughing. They didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear that Ma Ha would hate them and fight with them. They couldn't beat Ma Ha, so they could only secretly laugh at Ma Ha's failure at Ah Meng's place. .

Ah Yin sat there and did not participate in this conversation and joke.

After everyone had a rest, they continued to follow the prey tracks. This time they ran to the southwest and there were traces of a group of gray elephants. Ada ran to Ah Yin and said, "My grandma said that if you run further in this direction, there will be a unicorn."

Ada's partner caught a unicorn, which is very rare.

Daya came over out of nowhere and said, "Is Ah Yin going to catch the unicorn?"

"Is there anything else that I haven't seen before." Ah Yin still wanted to give his brother a surprise.

Daya said: "This is the first time I have seen an earth dragon beast from the Khajiit tribe."

"Then we have to go to the territory of the Khajiit tribe, okay?" Ada said.

Daya: "Of course you can't go to other people's territory to prey. What I mean is, Ah Yin, if you are not in a hurry, you can run out of the territory more often and look for other things outside."

"Are you talking about prey?" Ah Meng didn't know. When did he join the team? "I know that there is a kind of deer with wings and antlers. Maybe it cannot be called a deer. It is white and has no deer stripes. It appears during the snow season. It is very rare. It is only found in the snow season."

Ah Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Where is it?"

"The brown bear's territory, northwest, keep running." Ah Meng suggested that Ah Yin should not go, "Your brother is reluctant to let you go."

Daya said to Ah Meng's prey became interested and asked Ah Meng how he knew.

"Last year, I sent salt to the werewolf tribe. When I came back, I encountered it. I took a look at it from a very far distance. I thought I saw it wrong. It was icy and snowy, and the deer blended into the snow. I was curious and caught up with him. Don't you believe it? You can ask Ake.

"What then?" Ah Hui asked curiously from behind.

Ah Meng: "I chased it for a while, and it ran farther and farther, running very fast in the snow. Ake called me from behind and told me to stop chasing it. It was almost lost."

"Ake followed me later . He said, I seem to be fascinated, that deer has wings and is white, otherwise how could we two leopards not be able to catch up?"

Everyone listened in fascination, but they didn't expect Ameng Ake to encounter such a deer . prey.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"The patriarch told us to come back early after delivering the salt. I ran further and further away. If Ake hadn't called me to stop me, I would have caused some trouble if I broke into the brown bear's territory. Yes." Ah Meng said.

The two leopards encountered a brown bear. If they fight, they can try it. I don't know whether they will win or lose. But if you can't fight, you can run. If you can run, it will be troublesome. It will delay the time to return to the tribe, and it will not be good if you are injured. .

"A Yin, if you go, you can avoid the worst of the snowstorm before going."

"Don't teach him these things. If he encounters danger, Zhuo Yan will definitely be worried."

"The orcs can't be afraid of this . "Afraid of that."

"Tell yourself, Big Ya, is it necessary for an adult orc to be fearless?" "A brave

orc cannot be afraid of this or that."

"Don't listen too much to the orcs."

Chattered.

Ah Yin remained silent until he heard the last sentence, then retorted: "I want to listen to my brother."

"Then what if your brother won't let you go?"

"I will tell my brother."

After hearing this, everyone still felt that Ah Yin is a 'child' and has to listen to the sub-orcs' words, so I won't say more. Ah Hui and Ah Yin ran around, and the two of them murmured, knowing that Ah Yin would definitely catch the snow-white deer.

"When are you going?"

"A-yin, remember to call us if you go."

"Yes."

A-yin nodded, "I'll call you after my brother and I finish talking."

Two days later, the hunting team that went out brought back a Gray elephant, this gray elephant is still very big, it looks like an adult at first glance. The orcs injured each other, tied them up and drove them back.

Zhuo Yan and the sub-orcs had just finished the first batch of meat. They only had a short rest for the night, and now they were starting the second batch of meat.

After more than forty days of busy work, the bacon was finally finished and portioned. The tribe has collected a lot of fat meat, and the potatoes, fruits, and taro are also ripe, and everyone has to pick them again. Fortunately, there is enough meat this year, and the orcs will not go hunting, so they can stay in the tribe and do some hard work.

There are nearly two hundred kilograms of fat meat. Stone and the orcs refine the fat and distribute it to each hole for cooking. Some of the fat can also be kept to make some soap.

Shi Shi cut the fat meat into large pieces and threw it into the stone pot. He added some cold water. When he started to cook, some oil smell came out. Shi Shi frowned. As he stirred, the smell became stronger and stronger. He didn't He held back his mouth and vomited.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Yan happened to be passing by and saw it.

Shitou said: "This smell is a bit unpleasant."

When the fat meat is cooked, it does have a meaty smell, but Shitou has never had this before. Zhuo Yan said: "If you feel uncomfortable, go sit by the river first and relax." " Easy."

"It's okay." As soon as Shitou finished speaking, he couldn't hold it back, his stomach rolled, he dropped the spoon in his hand, and he became a little unsteady.

Zhuo Yan rushed over and helped the stone away from the stone pot while shouting: "Sister Qiao, take a look here."

"I got it." Qiao went over and stared at the stone pot.

Zhuo Yan held Shi Shi away from several oil refining stone pots and sat by the river. A slight cool breeze blew. Shi Shi couldn't help but push Zhuo Yan away and vomited some under the tree, but it was all water.

"Shitou, have you been feeling unwell lately?" Zhuo Yan was frightened. He and Shitou had known each other for so long, and this was the first time he saw Shitou feeling unwell, and he even vomited.

"No, it's okay." Shitou said and retched again.

Zhuo Yan: "Wait for me, I'll pour some boiling water."

Shitou mumbled, his mouth felt bitter, and he felt dizzy and uncomfortable. Zhuo Yan ran to get the boiling water - there are many stove holes in the kiln factory and there are many people working there, so there is a special stove for everyone to cook food.

Zhuo Yan brought hot water over, and Amanqiao Xiaoxian was already beside Shi Shi.

"Shitou, your face is so ugly."

"What's wrong with you, Shitou?"

"Do you have a stomachache?" Joe noticed, Shitou kept covering his stomach.

Shi Shitou spit it out, took the hot water and rinsed his mouth, then took a few sips. Faced with everyone's worries, Shi Shitou frowned and said, "I don't know, I just smelled the oil and suddenly felt very uncomfortable."

"Otherwise I'll find someone . Uncle, take a look?" Zhuo Yan suggested.

Shitou waved his hands crazily and refused to go.

Zhuo Yan thought for a moment and didn't force it. He only knew that some orcs in the tribe came to his uncle for trauma. He used to think that his uncle would see a doctor. In fact, he had some medicinal powder in the tribe that was specially used to treat injuries and stop bleeding.

The stone is like this now, and there is no external injury. There is no point in looking for the uncle.

"Then sit here and rest for a while. There won't be much work left and everyone can keep busy." Zhuo Yan said.

Shitou stopped trying to be brave and hummed. He felt really uncomfortable and his stomach hurt.

Zhuo Yan and others held Shi Shi to sit under a tree further away. They still had to work. Qiao saw Shi Shi covering his stomach and said, "Bring him a piece of leather to cover him."

Shi Shi's stomach was bloated . Get up.

Zhuo Yan also noticed that Shitou wasn't fat. He didn't have a belly before. Only now did he notice that Shitou had a protruding patch on his belly, but he wasn't very fat either.

"Is it because the cold weather makes you feel sick?"

Shitou has been eating too much lately? Zhuo Yan went home to get the leather.

This year the werewolves and tigers exchanged salt and brought a lot of skins. They got two skins for each hole. In addition, they had hunted and eaten meat for the past six months, so they had saved a lot. Every family had no shortage of skins.

Zhuo Yan took the leather down and fell asleep leaning on the stone under the tree. When he got closer, he found that the stone's lips were white, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his eyes were closed and he looked very painful. He was not asleep, but seemed to have fainted from the pain. Seems like it.

No, no.

Zhuo Yan hurriedly called A Man and others to come over, "Shi Shi is really in pain. He can't stay here. Send him home first."

"Shi Shi? Shi Shi?"

Shi Shi made a painful sound. Zhuo Yan said softly, "Let's help you get up and go back to sleep." He and Aman held Shitou's arms on the left and right, but Shitou, who closed his eyes, shouted in pain: "Don't, don't touch me."

"Okay." Zhuo Yan didn't dare to pull. He had never seen Shitou shout like this. It hurt.

Several people were frightened and had no master.

After a few minutes, Shi Shi opened his eyes, his lips were white, he smiled and said, "My stomach hurt just now, but it's much better now."

"It's better, just take it easy first," Zhuo Yan said.

Several people accompanied Shitou. Aman said that he would carry Shitou back after a while. Shitou could still joke and said, "I don't want you to carry it. I'm too heavy. You will definitely lose me halfway."

"You underestimate me ." ." Aman was not convinced, but his eyes were filled with relief.

It would be nice if stones could still make jokes.

A few people just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second Shitou frowned again, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he pulled the skin on his body with both hands. He felt painful and embarrassed and said: "You guys stay away from me."

"Shitou, you are not feeling well, live. " Everyone helps, don't worry." Xiao Xian thought Shitou was driving them away.

Zhuo Yan nodded and added that A Bai and the others were watching, it was just some finishing work, so it didn't matter.

Shitou was a little embarrassed and had no choice but to say: "My stomach hurts so much. I feel like I'm going to poop."

"..."

"Really, I'm going to poop. Please go away quickly." Shitou said in pain and urgently.

"..."

Several people thought for a moment and moved a few steps away.

"Did Shi Shi eat the wrong thing and get a stomachache?", "Did he eat poisonous mushrooms?", "I told him, don't be afraid of wasting food, some meat is spoiled and cannot be eaten.", "But the weather has been bad recently. Cool, there is no spoiled meat when we smoke it

.

Why does the stone hurt my stomach? I can't hold it back in front of several people.

Aman quietly moved a few steps further, and Qiao followed. Zhuo Yan: ... also followed. They were looking at the stone from a distance of seven or eight meters. After a while, Xiao Xian asked loudly: "Have you finished pulling the stone?"

"Stop shouting, he will die soon."

"Brother Zhuo Yan, what is this? " Social death?"

"If it were you, everyone is working in the distance, wouldn't you be embarrassed?"

Xiao Xian nodded in confirmation, so he stopped talking loudly.

Qiao reminded: "It's too late. Everyone has heard it. You see, everyone is secretly looking at us."

"..." Zhuo Yan.

Shitou, don't blame us for letting you die.

Aman pinched his nose and said angrily: "Zhuo Yan, give your skin a stone."

"..." Zhuo Yan.

Knowing that Shitou's stomach upset was better than anything else, although the few people teased Shitou, they still paid attention to Shitou's condition. After a while, Zhuo Yan asked tentatively: "Tou Shitou? How are you doing, Shitou? Are you okay?" He was reserved.

Stone sat against the tree, spread his legs, and put his hands under the leather.

Aman was shocked, and Xiao Xian said: "Don't Shitou want to touch it to confirm?"

"...It's not that disgusting." Zhuo Yan felt weird, Shitou loved to be clean, how could he do such a thing, and couldn't help but wonder Qiao glanced at it, and the two walked past.

Aman pinched his nose and said it smelled bad, but his legs were very honest and he passed.

Shi Shi was sweating profusely, and the leather Zhuo Yan was holding slipped down to his waist and covered his legs. At this moment, he looked at his companions, especially glaring at Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian was a little embarrassed. He just said too loudly. At this time, he whispered: "Shitou, have you pulled it out?"

"..." Shitou focused on the two most reliable people, "Zhuo Yan, Qiao, can you help me take a look? I feel something is wrong. But I can't touch it..."

Zhuo Yan frowned, and he also felt that the stone was in something wrong.

He and Qiao walked over, and Qiao peeled off a corner of the leather. Zhuo Yan saw a green egg slipping between Shitou's legs -

"Shitou, you pulled out an egg." Zhuo Yan was stunned. .

Qiao was also stunned for a moment. After listening to Zhuo Yan's words, he realized, "Shitou, you, you seem to have given birth to a baby?"

"Ah?!" Aman was shocked.

Xiao Xian's eyes widened.

"The stone was sitting here just now. There was no egg here, right?" Zhuo Yan recalled carefully. There was indeed no egg. If it were a green stone, he would have noticed it. It was really an egg pulled out of the stone.

The egg is larger than a goose egg, and the oval is more pointed at one end.

Zhuo Yan was stunned and looked at a few people: "Who told me that Yaorcs and Yus can't have cubs?!" He then said reproductive isolation and would not get pregnant, and encouraged Shitou to enjoy themselves in time.

"...We heard it." Aman was in a daze, "There have been orcs and feathered female beasts mating before, but I have never heard of female feathered humans laying eggs."

In order to clarify for Shi Shi, Xiao Xian raised his voice a little louder. When they arrived, other sub-orcs who had been paying attention to them came over. Everyone was talking about it. An egg was laid on the stone? , really gave birth? , can sub-orcs and feathered male have children? , I don't know that I've never seen it before.

Because feathered people and fur orcs have different aesthetics, they have very little mating experience, and no one has ever been pregnant - whether it's a female feathered person or a sub-orc.

If you haven't passed it, it means you can't do it.

Because no one has seen it, Zhuo Yan:...!

Shitou's father, who was raising a cub, hurried over after hearing this. Everyone gathered around Shitou with great concern and of course curiosity. After the stone was born, she was in much better condition, holding the egg in her arms.

"What should I do?"

"I heard that Yuren laid eggs and wanted to hatch them."

"Then who will hatch them?"

Shitou silently placed the eggs against his belly.

Cats take more than three months to give birth, orcs take six months, and birds lay eggs in about two months. After all, it takes more than two months and almost three months since they came back - they still have to hatch. ?

Zhuo Yan made his own calculations and said, "...I don't know if it's right or not, but you still need to take care of the eggs. Be careful not to knock them. Don't go out on the rocks recently."

"Don't sit on the rocks and blow the wind. "Send you back first?"

Shitou hugged Dan with both hands and said, "My legs are a little numb. Please wait for me."

"I'll go back and clean up the stone bed first," Shitou's father said hurriedly.

"Zhuo Yan, how do you hatch eggs?"

"..." Zhuo Yan didn't know either. He racked his brains and tried to say: "I have only seen hens hatching eggs. The eggs are pressed lightly against their buttocks and cannot be cold. Come, the temperature must be suitable..." Stumbling, I thought of all the knowledge about egg hatching.

Everyone was still immersed in this matter, and they all sent the stones back to the cave in a daze, almost in a daze. The cave in Shitou's house is quite big, but because there are so many children and the food for the winter is piled in the corner, it seems a bit small.

Shitou's father came back early and roughly cleaned up the stone bed. He covered it with two layers of soft leather. Shitou could walk on his own. With Zhuo Yan and the others supporting him, Shitou carefully held the green egg and covered it with the skin, fearing that the egg would get cold. arrive.

"You sit here, little Shitou and Xiaoyun, don't disturb your brother." Shitou's father stopped the two leopard cubs, holding each leopard's neck with one hand, "Don't go up to that stone bed."

Little leopard refused . I understand why, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

Dayun took action and knocked the two leopards on the head.

The cubs in the cave were making noises and talking, and it was a bit messy. No one reacted, but Shitou's father was worried about Shitou but didn't know what to do - after all, Shitou was the first sub-orc to lay eggs in the entire Leopard Man tribe.

Zhuo Yan and others talked to Shi Shi, and everyone was caught off guard. They could only say let Shi Shi rest more, don't be too cold, wrap the eggs in skin, don't worry, etc. Shitou was actually very worried. He touched the eggshell and found it was a bit rough. It didn't look like Kong Xingxing's skin at all. He had no feathers, just in case the egg couldn't hatch.

"...Zhuo Yan, you just said that it takes two months for a feathered man to lay eggs."

"Yes."

Shitou said, "it takes half a year for a sub-orc, so by next spring, it should be able to hatch out of its shell, right?"

Zhuo Yan knew what Shi Shi was worried about, but he couldn't guarantee it. He was about to say some comforting words, but Shi Shi quickly became firm and said, "I know, don't worry, I'm not afraid, it came unexpectedly, I will Hatch it as much as possible."

The few people left without staying.

After leaving Shitou's cave, they looked at each other and were still shocked. When they went to the river, they bumped into Shitou's grandmother, who hurried back to the cave.

The orcs by the river were all talking about the stone laying a baby egg.

Everyone was talking about this that day, and everyone was curious: "Stone eggs have to be broken out like feathered people, right?", "It should be feathered people.", "If it is an orc, it will be furry."

Zhuo Yan and others make soap , filling oil are a little absent-minded.

"This is done, it's time to burn charcoal. Let's burn more this year." Zhuo Yan said.

Everyone nodded.

Two days later, the orcs began to cut down thin trees to make charcoal. Shitou's grandmother and her friends were looking for a big stone to make a stone bed for. Shitou, Dayun, and the two leopards slept together, and it was obviously a bit crowded now.

Shitou's mother said: Xiaoyun and Shitou are very naughty. If they step on the egg, they will smash it.

Zhuo Yan feels that Shitou's mother and father still love Shitou very much. Shitou has been an adult for several years. Xiaoxian's father and mother have urged him to get married and move out as soon as possible, but Shitou's parents have never urged him or disliked him. Now, I am also willing to find another stone bed for the stone.

A few days later, Zhuo Yan and his friends went to see Shitou. They saw Shitou's father and his mother digging a small hole not far from his home. Shitou's father said, "This way you can put away the uneaten Dudu fruit." , half of the potatoes are put here, and the space in the cave can be larger. "

Shitou's father and mother used to find it troublesome - for example, making the stove, they thought it was just looking for trouble, Shitou mentioned it, but their parents simply didn't want to do it. It was dry, so the stone was depressed for a few days.

Now Shitou's parents have to dig out a small hole, so they don't mind the trouble.

Zhuo Yan was a little happy, happy for Shitou. Sure enough, as soon as they met, Shitou was sitting cross-legged on the soft leather of the stone bed, with a long fur covering his legs. His face was a little rosy. He was very happy to see them coming and opened a gap for them to see.

The green egg was stuck to the belly of the stone.

"I still need to roll over from time to time." Shitou said and looked at Zhuo Yan. Does that make sense? Dayun next to him also listened carefully.

Zhuo Yan thought to himself not to shake it apart, "Be careful, don't shake it too hard."

"I know, I'm very careful, slowly." Shitou was very happy, "Look, its shell seems to be greener.

"It seems to be true." "

It's a bit like Boss Kong's hair color."

"It's really beautiful."

Shitou liked the color and the egg very much, and said, "I can't follow you anymore. " You can't do any work even if you go out to play."

"There's not much work to do. The charcoal-burning people are all orcs now. The last batch can be settled for the winter," Zhuo Yan said.

Shitou is a restless person, full of energy, and has a lively eye. Now he can sit here and hatch eggs without moving, which shows that he really treasures this egg.

The few of them went back after chatting.

Shitou's mother and father were still digging the hole. The two leopard cubs thought they were playing, got into the small hole, and used their little paws to claw at the soil. Then their father held them by the neck and threw them out. The two leopard cubs I rolled a circle of mud and continued to play.

Although the Shitou family is a little rougher in raising children, the parents are also responsible.

After another five or six days, the charcoal was burned and the carbon was separated. Shitou's father and mother had been busy recently. They prepared a stone bed, dug a new hole, and made a wooden door for the new hole, and moved the food. Come and move.

In this busyness, the first snow came.

Zhuo Yan took some time off, still a little unaccustomed to it. Ah Yin squatted in front of his brother. Zhuo Yan knew that something was wrong with Ah Yin at a glance, and showed an expression that said, "Just tell me."

"Brother, let's go catch snow deer?"

"???" Zhuo Yan: "What snow deer?"

After A Yin talked about it, Zhuo Yan also became interested, mainly: "Can I go together?"

" There are many of us, including Ah Tou and Ah Hui. Da Ya said that he is going too. I can carry my brother on my back and take you to a safe place in the tree first, or you can chase with us. If you can't catch it, forget it. We can Run." Ah Yin took everything into consideration.

Zhuo Yan is so excited!

Because of Ah Yin's proposal, he was no longer an 'old, weak, woman and child' who could only wait at home waiting for Ah Yin to come back, but could go out together - of course he was happy. Anyway, it was not very cold in the early snow, and besides, he still had a coir raincoat, a raincoat, a large leather cloak.

"OK! Let's go!"

Chapter 77

Zhuo Yan was wearing a leather waistcoat, a piece of leather sewn with scraps of leather, wrapping his limbs and feet tightly, and a leather cloak, and asked Ah Yin to put a raincoat on him. Wearing a bamboo hat, he felt a little hot when he put it on.

But it doesn't matter, it will be cooler when you go out.

"Bag, my crossbody bag!" Zhuo Yan reminded, almost forgetting.

Because of this outfit, it was really inconvenient to carry a rattan basket. After Ah Yin told him that he was going out to look for snow deer, Zhuo Yan excitedly made a simple version of the cross-body bag overnight.

Ah Yin saw her brother wrapped up like this, walking clumsily and very cute. He took a leather bag and put it on his body. Zhuo Yan checked it, including a bone knife, salt, flint and a few boiled potatoes.

After checking everything, Ah Yin put food for more than ten days for the chickens and rabbits next door. The grass, potatoes, and bacon were minced and mixed together. Zhuo Yan closed the door, and A Yin had turned into a beast shape, half lying on the ground. Zhuo Yan climbed up, and A Yin stood up and set off.

The cold wind is howling outside, and the thin goose feather snowflakes are white. You can also see the bleak woods and hear the rushing sound of the rushing river.

Down the slope of his house, Ah Tou, Ah Hui, and Daya were already waiting. Not long after waiting, there was no snow on their furs. However, when they saw Ah Yin coming, the three of them stared at Ah Yin in disbelief. , and looked at Ah Yin's back.

"Is this your new rattan basket?" Da Ya asked.

A Yin: "Of course not, Daya, this is my brother."

"..." Daya: Didn't he see that this was Zhuo Yan? He just couldn't believe that A Yin would take Zhuo Yan to - Zhuo Yan No matter how smart Yan is, he is still a sub-orc. No orc would take a sub-orc with him when hunting.

Ah Yin said seriously: "Okay."

The other orcs are other orcs, he is him, and his brother is not other sub-orcs.

"Hi Daya, Ah Tou and Ah Hui." Zhuo Yan sat on it and said hello, but his voice seemed to be blown away by the wind as soon as he left his mouth. "I heard Ah Yin say that we went to catch snow deer. It was our first time there, so maybe we caught it. If we can't defeat the three orcs, we can run away."

Daya nodded and said nothing more. Ah Yin's stubborn temper was with his brother, and he would definitely not send his brother away just because of their words. Go back.

So he led the way and set off.

Ah Tou and Ah Hui saw that Da Ya had given in, so they could only run behind, whining and communicating while running. Ah Tou: No wonder Ah Yin was sure that he would go. It turned out that this was the method he thought of. Ah Hui: He actually took Zhuo Yan with him. What a good idea. A Tou: Zhuo Yan isn't even afraid? Ah Hui: That's why we orcs take sub-orcs with us when hunting.

Ah Yin, who was running in front, cried out: Don't speak ill of my brother, otherwise we won't be able to be partners.

Ah Hui Hui Huiwu: I didn't say anything bad, I was just curious.

Ah Yin Aowu: My brother is very smart and we are looking for snow deer. If there is danger, I will take my brother and run away first, and you must run away too.

knew!

As expected, Daya was more mature and decisive than the younger ones. After deciding to lead the way and run away, he never said anything about Ah Yin taking Zhuo Yan. Several people ran through the forest and ran to the northwest. To the west was the direction of the werewolves. Ameng said that they should run farther to the northwest.

Three leopards were traveling through the early snow season, and the weather was not too cold at this time - for Ah Yin, running for half a day was even hot, because he had more hair than the leopards in the tribe, and he would ask his brother if it was cold.

Zhuo Yan shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's not cold at all." His voice was blown away by the wind.

It's really not too cold. Genes are one thing. His cold-proof equipment is like bringing a quilt and lowering his upper body. He is lying on A Yin's back, his legs and feet are pressed against A Yin's belly, and the heat is continuously transmitted to him. .

It was getting dark soon in the snowy season. They were walking and walking, and met two long-legged giant rabbits on the road. They were already a little numb from the cold and looked dumb. Zhuo Yan was kind-hearted and gave these two rabbits away on the spot. Rabbit is happy.

They grilled food.

I pulled the branches and found some dry branches. Zhuoyan had flints. I peeled the skin of the giant rabbit, removed the internal organs, split it vertically into two pieces, skewered it on a wooden stick, roasted it for a while, and sprinkled it with oil. Hairy fine salt.

The three beast forms were lying scattered around, and when they smelled the fragrance, Big Ya glanced at them.

Ah Yin is also in animal form, but can speak human language.

"Brother, Da Ya wants to eat."

Da Ya looked at the ruthless leopard face calmly and seriously, and looked at A Yin in shock. What was this brat talking about? He didn't say he wanted to eat. Ah Yin looked back and said, "You didn't say it, but you want to eat it."

"Hahaha, you're welcome, try it." Zhuo Yan gave half of the baked food to Daya.

Ah Hui and Ah Tou don't care about face. When they smell the fragrance, they will chirp and pretend to be coming soon, wagging their tails just waiting to be fed. Zhuo Yan looked funny and gave some to the two of them. In the end, he ate a big half and A Yin a small half.

When he was full, the four leopards still wanted to eat, but they turned off the fire and set off again.

They were also on their way at night, and soon they met a roe deer. Not only was Daya not full just now, but the smell also aroused his appetite, now he pushed the silly roe deer down in twos and twos, cut open his fingernails, and gave it to Ah Yin. Throwing a leg.

The head and the gray were divided into body parts.

The four orcs ate a roe deer completely, leaving only the skin and did not put it away - including the two rabbit skins from before. Although it was a bit wasteful, they could not take it with them because the smell of blood would attract others. Animals, they were going to catch snow deer this time, so they had to try their best to cover up the irritating smell on their bodies.

They shuttled through the grassland, and the snow fell intermittently, sometimes very heavily. Fortunately, Zhuo Yan came back from Yu Ren and made a 'hat and coir raincoat'. With these two pieces, they separated the snow and ensured that they were dry and warm under the skin.

Along the way, Ah Yin and the four of them never turned into human form, they were all in animal form. Even when picking up firewood, Zhuo Yan went to pick up firewood, and Ah Yin's animal form was holding it in his mouth. He was very alert and vigilant in case he encountered a surprise prey. , Ah Yin can respond faster.

When they got tired, they would find shelter from the wind on the north side of the mountain col or behind the slope, and pound the snow into the ground - Zhuo Yan said that they could dig out a hole and tamp down the snow on both sides. The orcs' claws would be like peeling tofu. It's almost done.

Ah Yin fell on the snow first, exposing his belly and letting his brother sleep on him.

Zhuo Yan shook off the snow from his hat and raincoat, and opened the whole cloak, with his skin touching Ah Yin's inside, so that the body heat of the two people could be transferred to each other, and he covered it with the cloak and raincoat outside.

I slept like this all night, not cold at all, quite warm.

Even when he woke up, Zhuo Yan was a little confused. They were surrounded by snow. He stood up and shook off the snow. Zhuo Yan asked the other people: "How are you?"

"Brother, they said it's quite warm." A Yin was responsible for translating. .

Daya nodded, it was indeed warmer being wrapped in snow.

Set off again, eat whatever you encounter in the wild, and eat as much as you can to last for two or three days. The same goes for Zhuo Yan. When there is no prey, he can take a few bites of the hard potatoes he brought.

As I kept running, the snow became heavier and heavier, covering my calves deep.

Zhuo Yan has been counting the days. Today is the eighth day. A Yin is already a little hesitant. He and the other three people cried for a long time last night and told him that if they don't meet the snow deer tomorrow, they have to go back the same way. Returned.

Da Ya also agreed.

Otherwise it is very dangerous.

In the first twenty days of the snow season, these winds and snows are nothing to leopards, but when the snowstorm comes in the second month and the temperature drops sharply, it will be terrible. Food will not be found on the road, and there may be a tide of beasts. Safety For the sake of safety, of course you won't be stuck in time.

The jungles on the hillside all the way to the northwest were not tall and sparse. The wind and snow were getting heavier that day, making everything blurry and white.

There was nothing but the howling wind and snow, and no snow deer.

Ah Tou groaned in disappointment: Maybe Ah Meng saw it wrong.

Ah Hui was also a little scared and wanted to go back to the tribe.

"Listen." Ah Yin said softly.

Daya listened carefully, but there was still the sound of howling wind and snow. He glanced at Ah Yin and cried out: What did you hear?

"Follow me." Ah Yin whispered.

When Ah Tou and Ah Hui heard this, they had no time to ask and had already followed. Ah Yin was running very fast in front. When passing by the snowy slope, the whole leopard jumped up like a leap. Zhuo Yan hugged Ah Yin and pressed his body. .

Soon the speed slowed down.

Ah Yin stood in one place, as if trying to figure out the direction. This time Da Ya also heard the tinkling sound, but it was hard to hear it because it was wrapped in the wind and snow, but it was there.

The jungle grew thinner and thinner, and finally stopped.

Zhuo Yan quietly raised his head and saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance first. He searched again and finally saw what appeared to be a 'snow deer' figure. Because of the snow, the scenery was also white. He could tell that the 'snow deer' was because the deer was there. Take a bath, and the bathing water in the lake is colored, turquoise.

They were quite far away from the snow deer, at least more than a hundred meters.

Several people's eyes were filled with excitement, they finally found it. Big Ya observed carefully, barked in a low voice, and watched the prey in the distance. Ah Hui and Ah headed around, and everyone started hunting.

This was Zhuo Yan's first official 'hunting', and he was a little excited, but - Ah Yin wouldn't take him to hunt snow deer, right?

"Brother, lie still."

Zhuo Yan reacted instantly. He could feel his blood boiling in the ice and snow. Ah Yin really took him hunting! He didn't think he was a burden, so he lowered his body as much as possible and kept his breathing steady as he waited for Daya and the others to come.

Because Ah Yin was running too fast, there was the sound of howling cold wind in his ears.

Zhuo Yan couldn't see what was happening. His body followed A Yin's body up and down, left and right, like a roller coaster. He hugged A Yin's neck tightly, even a little high -

it was very intense.

There was also the roar of a leopard, and after a while, A Yin said: "Brother, I've caught it."

Zhuo Yan was so shaken that he almost fell apart. He ignored the discomfort and sat up to look at the scenery in front of him. In the distance, there were some snow deers fluttering their wings. Flying low, these snow deer are about the same size as sika deer. Their wings are a little small and they don't fly very high. They fly at a low altitude of two to three meters and run away in all directions in fright. Some even bump into each other and fall heavily to the ground -

they look very pain.

Daya was already eating, and the blood stung from the food. He licked his lips, took a few steps back lazily, and whimpered. Ah Hui and Ah Tou also came over to have a taste. Before Zhuo Yan could ask, Ah Yin said, "They said that the meat of snow deer is not very tasty and has a fat smell."

"What kind of smell?" Zhuo Yan felt this. Deer are a bit stupid and timid. A few snow deer that fell to the ground in the distance must have been a little hurt. They stood up and staggered, but they didn't fly too high and bumped into each other again.

Zhuo Yan: ...

You don't need to hunt much, you will be crippled in a while.

That roller coaster that was so thrilling just now? Zhuo Yan was lying on Ah Yin's back. What he had just imagined was so exciting and dangerous that he didn't even dare to breathe. Later, I heard from Daya and Ah Yin that they thought there were only a few, but they rushed over and found hundreds of them. Ah Yin was worried that these snow deer were more aggressive and could hurt people, so they temporarily stopped the gate.

So there are some up, down, left and right ranges.

Who knows, hundreds of snow deer didn't even fight, they flapped their wings and fled for their lives.

Ah Yin went to taste it, and Zhuo Yan saw the "bitter" look on Ah Yin's leopard face, as if he was trying hard to find a treasure, and finally found a pile of Xiang.

"..." Is it really so unpalatable?

A Tou and A Hui were already bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. Fat, it smelled like—it was cold, and his nose wasn't very sensitive anymore, so Zhuo Yan got closer.

"Ugh~"

I couldn't help it, I wanted to yue a little. The meat smelled like fermented beans, with a sour and fishy smell. Zhuo Yan didn't believe it, so he took a few steps back and said, "Why don't you take it apart, light a fire, and try roasting it?"

Da Ya no longer wanted to do it. With his rich hunting experience, these snow deer were in the werewolf territory - closer than their tribe anyway. There must be a problem if there are such a herd of deer in the middle of winter and the werewolves won't eat them.

Orcs still have a high tolerance for prey, especially on snowy days when there is little food.

Ah Yin took her brother to find firewood. Ah Tou and Ah Hui finished spitting the meat in their mouths, but there was still a smell. The two of them angrily yelled bad things about Da Ya in front of Da Ya. Da Ya was happy to hear that. If he couldn't bear those words Mouth, how come these two come to eat!

His mouth still smells bad.

Those two boys must have said the same thing. What else are you baking?

Zhuo Yan still roasted it, with the belief that "it's all here", he discovered a new species, don't go back empty-handed, at least study it, and the conclusion is: his firewood was wasted. The meat is dripping with water after roasting, as if the meat has soaked in water, but the meat is still yellow-white, ugly and smelly.

He closed his eyes and put it into his mouth. Zhuo Yan felt that he couldn't put it down, so Ah Yin took a mouthful, tasted it whole, and vomited it out again.

Zhuo Yan: Even more sad.

"Stop eating. I'm not stubborn anymore. It seems like this trip is for nothing." Zhuo Yan touched A Yin's head and said.

Ah Yin hung his head and looked unhappy. Zhuo Yan said with a smile: "How can any good luck happen to us? We can find good things every time."

Big Ya turned over the snow deer and inspected it. The wings, teeth, bones, and the wings looked ugly up close because they were made of short velvet. The wings were nothing special, they were dirty and had bugs hiding in them, the teeth weren't very sharp, and the bones couldn't be used as bone knives.

He couldn't help but grind his teeth. This was the first time he had seen this kind of prey that was useless. The meat of some prey was not delicious, but it would be more beautiful, or the wings were useless and too small, but grinding them into powder could heal the legs. Bone injuries, or sharp teeth and hard bones.

This...is a waste of time.

Ah Yin was extremely disappointed. He wanted to give his brother a marriage gift, so he took his brother out in the wind and snow, but this was the result.

Zhuo Yan knew that Ah Yin wanted to find him a gift for the mate ceremony, and his expectations were actually high before he came. Especially when it was windy and snowy all the way and stayed at night, it was quite hard. He thought, 'I want to see what this snow deer has. How beautiful it is, I painted it for myself.

But now Snow Deer can't go anywhere.

Zhuo Yan held A Yin's head and kissed the furry A Yin. A Yin looked at his brother. Zhuo Yan said: "In the past ten days, the wind and snow were very heavy every night. I lay on your belly. I can Feeling your warmth, you try your best to protect me, because you carry me on your back and adjust your running posture and route so that I can be as comfortable as possible."

"I can dig open branches buried under the snow, and hold branches in my mouth to make a fire in the ice and snow. I'm afraid of the unpalatable and poisonous meat, so you should try it first and then give it to me."

"The orcs in the tribe will not take the sub-orcs out for hunting. It is true that when hunting, the sub-orcs cannot run fast enough. They have no sharp claws or sharp teeth. But Ah Yin, you still brought me out."

"I think, If you are really in danger, you will die together with me."

Their lives are tied together, tightly and inseparably.

Live and die together.

Zhuo Yan and A Yin have a tacit understanding. He knows what A Yin thinks, and A Yin also understands him.

"So, Ah Yin, I am willing to partner with you. The snow deer is not important."

After Zhuo Yan finished speaking, Ah Yin's blue eyes were a little moist, and then he turned into a human form. The two embraced in the ice and snow, and the cold wind howled. Ah Yin was originally going to kiss her brother, but in the end she kissed her brother's forehead instead.

"I just ate snow deer, and it still tastes good." Ah Yin was annoyed. This smelly snow deer.

Zhuo Yan couldn't help but smile with white teeth, "Go back." When he turned around, he saw three leopards squatting around them in the wind and snow. At this time, they were howling to the sky. Without translation, Zhuo Yan felt the three leopards squatting around them. People joked, congratulations to both of them.

The snow stopped and the sun shone through.

"Actually, we are quite lucky." Zhuo Yan rubbed A Yin's head, "We had a safe journey and picked up a lot of frozen prey. The snow deer herd is not in danger."

Otherwise, if it were a fierce prey, there would be hundreds of them in groups. , then they would run away in a hurry.

Ah Yin became happy and turned into a beast and swung his tail. He was no longer disappointed with the snow deer. His brother said that he and he were partners. He and his brother were partners, and he was happy.

Zhuo Yan turned on Ah Yin's back, and the light reflected some blue-green light. He couldn't help but follow the light and looked over. It was a winding and stretching lake, turquoise, just because of the group of snow deer here. , just saw it.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to recognize the snow deer mixed with the snow.

Ah Yin also noticed it, couldn't help but get up, and ran a few steps over to take a look. After arriving, Zhuo Yan noticed that this was not a 'lake' at all, but a lot of transparent stones of different colors.

Is it a stone?

Zhuo Yan bent down and picked up a piece. Several 'stones' hit the ground, making a crisp jingling sound -

"It turned out to be the sound made by this." A Yin said.

They were looking for snow deer just now because of the tinkling sound. When they arrived, hundreds of deer were rubbing together in these 'lakes and rivers', and they could still hear it despite the wind and snow covering the distance.

Daya and the others also followed. Ah Hui used his paws to pull at it. Ah Tou also saw that this green stone was quite beautiful.

You can't take the snow deer back anywhere, but it's here, so bring some transparent green stones with you.

After all, it was the place where he and Ah Yin got married - Zhuo Yan jumped off Ah Yin's back, picked up another one, and faced the sky. Individually, these green stones were quite clear and strong, because they were piled up like a lake. The color is just a little darker.

These stones are not particularly heavy. They are about half lighter than ordinary stones. They are a bit like crystals and come in different sizes. Zhuo Yan picked up some beautiful ones - those that were smoother or had special shapes, and put them in his backpack.

Ah Tou wanted to bring some to Xiao Xian, so he whined, and Ah Yin translated.

In the end, Big Tooth 'used local materials' and peeled off the snow deer skin that had not been eaten much but had been turned over. Several orcs packed a bag of stones. Because they had rich experience in collecting salt and mud, they were now skilled in packing and tying them. On the back.

Go back.

This time we didn't delay any more, and the journey back was quite relaxed - we finally found the snow deer, and brought a bag of beautiful stones with us. Ah Yin was also very happy that his brother had become a partner with him.

Everyone is happy in his own way.

The way back was a little more difficult than the way here, because the snow fell frequently and was a lot heavier. A few people ran very fast and only rested when they were tired. There were very few prey on the way back. We didn't encounter any large prey. They were all rabbits. Chicken or something.

I even had one meal in two days.

But they went back very quickly. It took them eight days to come. When they returned at noon on the seventh day, they saw the tribal forest. Several people ran very fast. The leopards were covered with snow and looked like silver leopards. And A Yin wanted to go back. Not only is Zhuo Yan sitting on his back, but he is also integrated with the snow sky.

The tribe's river is frozen, but it's not solid yet.

When Ah Tou and Ah Hui ran back, they jumped up because they were so excited, and the ice surface made a scraping sound. Fortunately, it did not crack. Ah Yin changed the river surface and jumped over. Zhuo Yan sat on Ah Yin's back and took off and landed again.

It's quite fun.

It's safe now that I'm home, and my mind is relaxed.

Everyone is the same.

"Ooooooo~"

"Ooooo!!"

Big Ya, A Tou, and Hui yelled to say hello, and A Yin also yelled, and then they went back to their respective homes. Zhuo Yan looked at the door of his home and breathed a sigh of relief, "He's back!"

As he approached his home, a figure jumped out and fell at A Yin's feet. Zhuo Yan exclaimed, "What is this--" When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Yazhu?! When did you come back? Why did you come back?"

Yazhu, who had disappeared for several months, came back and lost weight. Big circle.

Yazhu was trembling, after all, he was almost trampled to death by Ah Yin.

Zhuo Yan jumped off A Yin's back and heard some movement in the animal cave at home. Another toothed pig ran out of the small hole. It was smaller than his toothed pig. He looked younger at first glance and looked like a cub. .

Zhuo Yan looked at the tooth pig and then at the baby tooth pig.

"Your kid outside?"

When did you bring him back? If he came back right after it started snowing, would he be hungry for more than ten days?

Yazhu grunted and lay down in front of Zhuo Yan with a flattering pig face. The little cub also came out, hiding from Ah Yin in fear -

"Brother, three chickens are missing, two rabbits are missing, all over the ground Chicken feathers and rabbit fur."

​​Zhuo Yan:!

"I can't bear to eat it. You two fucked me with three chickens and two rabbits?" Zhuo Yan didn't think the toothed pig was dirty, so he twisted the ears of the toothed pig.

The little cub froze with fear.

"Sooner or later, I will make you into a crispy pork belly." Zhuo Yan was furious. He was just happy that the tooth pig was recovered and he had pork to eat again. But now he saw that he couldn't survive outside. After all, it was very cold in the snow. , ran back with the cub to join him.

Zhuo Yan smiled coldly and ate his 'property'.

"Let's run again next year. Ah Yin, take care of them both."

Yazhu's flattering voice stopped.

It was dark and cold, so the two finally cleared the hole next door. The remaining chickens and rabbits were so frightened that they were a little mentally disturbed. Zhuo Yan took a look and slapped the pig in front of the chickens and rabbits.

"If there is one less, I will kill you first."

Yazhu nodded and huddled in the corner behind him, protecting the cub.

Zhuo Yan: ...

Yazhu can understand words and is a bit smart. This is really annoying. Because he has been raised for a long time, he is really reluctant to kill him.

Ah Yin said that next time he comes, he will be cruel and cruel.

Zhuo Yan couldn't help but laugh.

After returning to the cave to light a fire and burn wood to keep warm, Ah Yin took the bucket outside to get the snow. He knew that his brother was going to clean it, and he also thought that after cleaning, his brother would let him kiss, hug and lick it.

After boiling two large pots of snow water, the two of them scrubbed it first, poured it out and burned two more pots. This time they washed their hair, poured it out and burned two more pots, and finally cleaned it thoroughly.

Zhuo Yan washed it very clean, inside and out.

Ah Yin has been fetching snow, boiling water, and pouring water to get snow today. He used more water than before for cleaning. My brother washed it very carefully, and Ah Yin didn't think anything of it. It's normal for my brother to like to be clean.

Zhuo Yan's whole body was filled with the scent of soap, and he - he even washed his butt.

"Ah Yin, go and get some more snow water."

"Brother, do you still want to wash it?"

Zhuo Yan sat on the stone bed, covered with leather, and said, "No need to burn it. After you take out the snow, close the door. Don't put out the fire. Leave it alone. " Two sticks of firewood

will probably be useful in a while.

Zhuo Yan thinks he has thought too much? Ah Yin came back from running for a long time and did so much work. Maybe he just wanted to sleep and didn't have the energy to do anything else -

that's okay, he wasn't in a hurry. Zhuo Yan's face turned red as he thought about 'deceiving himself'.

Ah Yin listened to his brother's words, finished everything, and got on the stone bed.

The light in the cave is the light from two firewood, either bright or dark. Zhuo Yan got into bed, and Ah Yin still held him. Zhuo Yan asked, "Are you sleepy?"

"Sleepy." Ah Yin said.

Zhuo Yan: It seems that your busy work has been in vain.

"Then go to sleep."

Ah Yin hugged her brother and closed her eyes. Zhuo Yan also closed his eyes, but he felt a little ashamed. Fortunately, Ah Yin didn't know that he had washed his butt - he deliberately sent Ah Yin away to beat the snow.

It's okay, no one knows.

After a while, the cave was quiet. Zhuo Yan felt a hand on his face. Ah Yin touched his cheek and then moved it towards him. Their cheeks were touching.

"Brother, you're a little hot."

"I'm not asleep."

He knew that his brother was not asleep either, and his breathing sounded different when he was asleep.

The more Zhuo Yan thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. Now when he heard what A Yin said, he felt even more ashamed. Without opening his eyes, he said vaguely, "Didn't you say you were sleepy?"

"My body is very sleepy, but I can't sleep, brother. "

Zhuo Yan didn't reply.

Another few dozen seconds or minutes passed.

"Brother, can I touch your butt?"

Zhuo Yan opened his eyes and met a pair of dark blue eyes, "Did you just see that?"

Ahhhhhhhh! ! ! !

Ah Yin looked like a wolf, with dark eyes, and gnawed on it without saying a word.

in Chapter 78

Zhuo Yan said before  that big cats have frequent estrus periods, short lifespan, and small sex. Some leopards can mate more than 350 times in a week.

Regarding the above popular science, Zhuo Yan has something to say this evening.

Ahem...my throat.

Zhuo Yan opened his mouth, his throat was hoarse and painful. He had shouted too much last night. At that time, he was sober for a few seconds. Zhuo Yan felt lucky: Fortunately, leopards like to live alone in their territories, and the caves are far away from each other.

When he thought of this, Zhuo Yan had no time to wake up in the next second.

Ah Yin got out of bed and boiled water for his brother to drink. The bucket of snow that was driven into the cave last night has already turned into water, but it was not used for scrubbing last night, but was used to boil the water for drinking this morning.

Zhuo Yan was lying on the bed, his whole body was sore and weak. Because he had been in one position for too long, his legs couldn't close together. Thinking of last night, he felt a little ashamed and embarrassed.

Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that Jiji is small and has short battery life, and Ah Yin is not a real leopard. Also, Ah Yin has wolf blood genes. When canines mate, there is a 'knot' that neither party can break away from. It lasts for five to thirty minutes, and can last up to two hours.

Zhuo Yan also wants to clarify the science of canines. It is true, but it is not as exaggerated and long as two hours. If it were to stick for so long, his hip bones and thighs would be useless.

But now... it's true that I feel numb and sore when I move.

Zhuo Yan didn't remember how long it took, but he thought he could change to a more comfortable position next time he was about to arrive.

In his previous life, his mother Shan died of illness at the age of 28. Zhuo Yan thought that he had no desires and desires, and was a positive young man who was positive and focused only on his career - he didn't have any yellow blood cells.

Now Zhuo Yan: I was really pretending.

Although his throat is cracked and his body is sore, Zhuo Yan: Hehehe, it feels so good. He turned his head, and in the dim cave, Ah Yin was wearing only straw slippers. She had very white skin, smooth muscle lines, long legs, broad shoulders and narrow back. When she poured water into the pot to light the fire, she looked like a sculpture. She was really It's perfect.

There is also that silver hair, and the cold face is perfect when working and not talking.

When talking to him, he is as warm and simple as a puppy.

But...A Yin last night was really strange and quite handsome.

Maybe his gaze was too intense, A Yin turned around, his eyes were dark blue, and said: "Brother, don't you feel any pain?"

Zhuo Yan immediately received the signal. Although it felt good, he had to take it easy, so he fucked With his duck voice, he ordered Ah Yin to boil water for cooking, and opened the curtain behind the door to let in some air.

There must be a smell in the cave, but the two of them had been there for so long that they couldn't smell it anymore.

Ah Yin was obedient, but her eyes were full of smiles. It was fun to tease her brother. He was so cute. He put the pot away, stood up and took off the leather on the back of the door. The cold wind from outside came in through the door and cracks.

The cave... indeed smelled like the two of them.

Zhuo Yan covered his body with leather, and Ah Yin went to bed together after finishing their work, and kissed his brother on the cheek. Zhuo Yan was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't do it now, wait for me to calm down."

"I don't have it, I thought " Brother, you just thought about it again." "

Come on! What did I think about?"

"Brother, you looked at my back just now, as if you were looking at prey."

Zhuo Yan almost blurted out, "It depends on who the prey is." He immediately pinched Ah Yin's cheek and said, "You are so brave, humph, you are not good, let's see how I pinch you."

Ah Yin obediently let her brother rub it, and it didn't hurt at all because of his small hands.

The two of them played around on the bed for a while. When the hot water was boiled, Zhuo Yan was almost ready for cleaning. They washed their faces and brushed their teeth, then boiled hot water and scrubbed their bodies.

At this step, Zhuo Yan felt ashamed again.

He couldn't reach it, so Ah Yin helped him.

I just finished cleaning my body, but then I didn't know what happened and I rolled up again.

Zhuo Yan: ...

until the evening of this day. Anyway, it's dark outside. The chickens are croaking crazily next door, and the tooth pigs are chirping, reminding the two owners to take care of the lives of the animals in the cave next door. It's time to eat.

Zhuo Yan: ...I'm a little hungry.

"I'll go, brother." Ah Yin was very happy and started to prepare food for the pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and also made snow for the wooden barrels. Because the hot water was consumed too quickly, he simply used a stone pot to cook two large pots tonight. Hot water.

Zhuo Yan took back what he said in the spring breeze in the morning. Now he is really an eighty-year-old man who is trembling on the ground. He has to hold his waist with one hand when walking. On the other hand, Ah Yin ran back and forth from Xuelu and still carried him on his back. He didn't do much when he got home. I rested, ate and drank, and now I am still full of energy to do this and that.

It was as if he had been hollowed out.

After Ah Yin finished feeding the animals in the cave next door, he simply cleaned up, spread hay, closed the wooden door, and shoveled all the snow at the entrance of the cave. He also cooked rice in the pot and stewed potatoes, bacon, and meat. Ah Yin did the same. Those who know how to cook will taste good, but not as delicious as Zhuo Yan's cooking.

But now everything Zhuo Yan eats tastes delicious.

After eating, A Yin tidied up, Zhuo Yan rinsed his mouth and face and then climbed into bed with difficulty - being hugged by A Yin and hugging the princess, Zhuo Yan exclaimed and said wildly: "It can't be done, it can't be done, if you keep doing it, your brother will No more!"

He almost said: Whoever is doing it tonight is the dog.

Ah Yin lowered his head to kiss his brother, and said like a puppy: "Brother sleeps."

"Really just sleep?"

"Really."

Zhuo Yan rolled onto the bed, tucked himself in, and covered himself tightly. After a while, , pretending to be dead and asked: "Do you think I'm afraid of doing this?"

"Brother screamed very happily last night and during the day, how could he be afraid? He must be tired from doing too much, wait until brother rests We couldn't be happier."

Zhuo Yan: ...

He was really too tired. He didn't even know when Ah Yin was done with his work. He was fast asleep. He vaguely felt Ah Yin holding him in his arms and reaching out to give him a hand. He squeezed it, because it was so comfortable that he didn't bother to open his eyes.

He slept so darkly that he didn't know when he woke up - it was dark outside the cave. Zhuo Yan thought he woke up early because his body's instinct was that it would be dark morning and night in winter, but A Yin said it was midnight.

"...No wonder I feel like I slept for a long time." Zhuo Yan said.

Ah Yin touched his brother's hair, "The hot water is ready, and I also made barbecue."

Zhuo Yan was also hungry. When he got up, he suddenly froze for a moment and looked at Ah Yin, "My waist doesn't hurt anymore and my legs I'm not sore anymore." He rolled his arms and kicked his legs, and he really wasn't sore anymore.

After he jumped under the stone bed, his legs felt no discomfort when walking. He could even feel that his butt was no longer uncomfortable. It seemed that everything was back to how it was before.

Orcs have great genes.

Ah Yin's eyes are sparkling, and my brother is no longer uncomfortable.

The following days were a bit too regular, with two days off and one day off, which was very stable. No matter how heavy the snow was outside the cave entrance, the cave was warm every day - not by charcoal fire, but by two people hugging each other to keep warm.

Zhuo Yan finally understood that people in the tribe said that the sub-orcs without orcs would have a hard time in winter.

Warming, spiritual comfort, safety and defense, etc., now every day is very fulfilling. Zhuo Yan has spent many days and nights in reverse, and he has forgotten the day. He happily cleans, sleeps, sleeps, cleans, eats... so on cycle.

Until this day, Zhuo Yan was lying on the bed and suddenly thought, "Should we catch fish?"

"Brother, it's the fourteenth day since we came back. The ice is a bit thick now, but we can try."

"Fourteenth Is it crazy?" Zhuo Yan's point. He didn't feel at all like the long snowy season in the past, when the days passed by in the blink of an eye.

What does he do every day? He doesn't do anything serious.

For example, in the winter, he would do some handicrafts, play games with A Yin, and do endless work. Zhuo Yan reflected for a few seconds and said to A Yin: "We can't indulge in this aspect too much. We still have to do more work."

"Really, brother?" Ah Yin was a little reluctant.

Then Zhuo Yan saw A Yin concave in front of him, showing off her beautiful body lines, and even gave him a cold expression, and then secretly looked at him to seduce him, with a look of 'brother, are you willing to let me go'.

Zhuo Yan: ...amused.

He came over and held Ah Yin in his hands and kissed her.

"Then let's do some work at least."

A Yin agreed, "I can do it." Zai Niwai

really can't even think about fishing today. The ice is already thick. Now we have entered the second stage of winter. One day, one temperature, one day. If you delay for one day, then don't eat fish this winter.

Zhuo Yan also wanted to give some to Shitou.

"Let's go quickly."

Ah Yin got the equipment for his brother, and Zhuo Yan started to put it on. When he finished putting it on, Ah Yin turned into a beast shape and held the rattan basket in his mouth. As soon as he went out, the snow that had just been shoveled reached his knees again, hitting his face. snowflakes. Zhuo Yan's eyelashes are covered with frost, and half of his face is wrapped in leather.

He sat on Ah Yin's back, and Ah Yin galloped through the snow.

The ice surface was indeed frozen solid. Zhuo Yan had a stone knife tool in his hand with a stick tied to it. When he stabbed it, the ice surface did not move at all, and his stick was almost broken.

"No."

Ah Yin jumped up, landed heavily, and slapped it with his claws. It seemed that Bi Zhuoyan's two blows just now seemed to work, but the hole still didn't open.

"I have it!" Zhuo Yan remembered, "When I came back before, the ice surface that Ah Tou and Ah Hui passed by made a scratching sound and almost cracked. Try it there."

Ah Yin squatted down, Zhuo Yan stood on it, and the two No one talked much, it was too cold outside.

When they got there, the two of them peeled away the snow that had fallen on the ice. The ice was already a little thick and it was hard to see where the original cracks were. Zhuo Yan could only hit it with a stone knife, trying little by little, and Ah Yin patted it with his paw.

Finally -

"Brother, step back." Ah Yin heard the clicking sound, and in desperation, he held his brother's cloak in his mouth and moved back. Zhuo Yan almost sat on Ah Yin's nose.

After retreating to a safe position, the stick and stone knife in Zhuo Yan's hand was long enough. He used force again and continued to pound, dig, and chisel. Finally, the ice surface cracked, leaving only a small hole the size of a watermelon. The river flowed underneath, and there was no fish.

Zhuo Yan was not discouraged. This was not his first time fishing.

I came late this year. The weather is too cold and the ice is thick. The fish will enter a state of suspended animation due to lack of oxygen. You have to wait for a while to let the fish recover - I came early before, and those fish have not yet entered this state and are actively discovering. If there is oxygen at the entrance of the cave, jump up quickly.

The two used tools and claws to expand the ice surface.

As the cracks in the ice became larger and larger, and the river flowed by, I saw some fish. These fish had their bellies turned over, as if they were dead. These fish had to be fished out.

The two started catching fish, and in the end their hands were so cold that they felt warm instead of hurting.

"Go back." Zhuo Yan looked at the full cane basket and saw that it was enough. It seems that next year, he really won't be able to have enough food to keep him warm and lustful, so he has to come early.

Not to mention it was getting dark again when we got back, and the wind and snow were also getting heavy.

Zhuo Yan planned to collect the fish tonight and give some to Shitou one day when the wind and snow stopped. After returning home, you can't warm yourself by the fire immediately, but dig some snow. You need to rub the skin outside, such as your hands that are a little warm from the cold.

Originally, they used to rub each other separately, but today they were rubbing each other, and they almost rolled on the bed again.

Zhuo Yan didn't dare to think about what they would do when spring came.

No wonder Joe and Ada didn't leave the cave for a week at that time. And as long as the tribe has leftover food, everyone is too lazy to go hunting and just wants to stay in the cave. He understands now.

Relying on their strong willpower, Zhuo Yan and A Yin did not clean up the fish in the rattan basket that night, but only did simple tasks: cleaning, eating, feeding the animals, and then rolling in bed.

...At least I did some work, and it's already great. It's improved compared to before. Zhuo Yan comforted himself like this.

The fish was picked up the next day. Fortunately, the fish was placed near the door and would not go bad. After cleaning it all day, Zhuo Yan divided the fish into pieces and put them in small rattan baskets. This one was for Shi Shi.

Among several friends, Shitou is the first to give birth to cubs, so he needs more nourishment.

The snowstorm didn't stop for the next half month, and the weather this year was extremely cold. One day, when he opened the door, the entire snow covered the entrance of the cave. Zhuo Yan was a little scared - such extreme cold, but he quickly put it behind him.

There is nothing they can do about natural disasters and weather, except moving away. It was unrealistic to move the tribe away. Zhuo Yan finally understood why the people here - whether they were the orc tribe or the feathered people, everyone cared for themselves and lived in the present.

Featherman territory.

This winter has been extremely cold, with several heavy snowfalls in succession. The trees on the hilltops of the Peacock tribe are intricate and long. Some of the tree houses have been unoccupied for a long time, and the branches are broken. The peacocks are too lazy to repair them, so they move to other good wooden houses.

This cycle continues, and a recent snowstorm damaged the cabin.

Everyone searched around and found that there were not many wooden houses on the top of the mountain that could be lived in. Kong Yue's wooden house is still okay, but his and his brother's wooden house cannot accommodate the other four people.

Although the eldest brother has not come back to live for a long time and has been living in the shop.

"How about going to my eldest brother's shop?" Kong Yue asked.

Others are a little afraid of Kong Xingxing. Kong Yue said: "Then you want to continue sleeping in the broken wooden house?"

"No, to be honest, my wooden house is a little damp, and I have been enduring it, but winter is coming and after the snow falls, one day I find that my feathers It's all wet and moldy." " It's

too humid ." "Me too." Although the last few people were afraid, they still followed Kong Yue down the mountain. Some people said that it was very cold down the mountain. It was cold inside, so Kong Yue said: "Then you can go back." "Kong Yue, our wooden house is broken down." "It's good if you know, then don't say that my eldest brother's shop is not good." Kong Yue said fiercely . The peacock who spoke first did not shut up and was not upset by what Kong Yue said. He still had a smile on his face and said cheerfully: "Hey, little Kong Yue is so fierce and cute." "That's right, Kong Yue listens. Said that there is a boy from the Golden Head clan pursuing you. "

"Isn't it a female?", "It's not good to be a male.", "Xiao Kongyue, tell me and listen, my brothers will help you control your eyes.", "You are the younger brother of the leader of our Peacock tribe, no matter what, you must find someone Not bad looking." "That's right."

Everyone laughed and teased Xiao Kong Yue.

Kong Yue is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year. He has a tender face. When facing several other adults, he turns aggressive and sweet-sounding. No one is afraid of him. Kong Yue pulled a face that made everyone laugh.

"...You go back and get your things quickly. You will go to my brother's shop later. If you laugh at me again, I will go there first without leading you. My brother will not open the door for you without me." Kong Yue threatened.

The four peacocks laughing and joking:...

"Okay, okay.", "Who is laughing at Kong Yue, not me.", "Hey, Xiaoyue, don't be angry, we will go back and clean up now."

As soon as everyone left, Kong Yuesong He breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little nervous and guilty. He, he took everyone to find his brother, and he also wanted to sleep in his brother's shop. His brother wouldn't shut him out as well, right?

After a while, the four peacocks came back, bringing nothing but rolled up and tied skins. Kong Yue was a little surprised and said, "I thought you would wear combs, skirts and necklaces..."

"Xiaoyue, although your brother is the most beautiful in our clan, I am not bad either. I am naturally good-looking, so I don't need those."

Peacock Clan leader: Choose the most beautiful one in the clan.

Another person broke the story and said: "The wooden house has collapsed. Everything is broken and dirty, right?"

"Although we are good-looking, we are not like those idiots from the Eagle Clan. It's this time and our lives are at stake." Another person was a little serious and followed Kong. Yue explained.

When Kong Yue smiled, he thought everyone didn't care.

"It's not really stupid.", "That's right.", "Do you still care about our children?", "Let's go."

Kong Yue scrawled for a while, blushing, and finally said: "I didn't tell you My brother, he doesn't know that we are going to stay..."

The four of them had already transformed into bird shapes and looked at each other in perfect agreement. When they didn't hear Xiaoyue say this, when they arrived at Kong Xingxing's territory, they directly said, "Your brother invites you." Ours, if you have any questions, go to Xiaoyue - anyway, you have to be lazy and shameless, or go back to live in a dilapidated wooden house.

A few people fooled the children and made them take the blame.

Kong Yue quickly transformed into her original form and flew behind the four adults. The peacocks can fly, and their wings are very big, but for some reason, they can't fly very far - they can't fly to the seaside, and they have to carry salt back and forth.

It would be great if I could fly to the beach and carry salt on my back, so I wouldn't have to rely on others. Kong Yue thought to herself.

The five people flew from the top of the mountain to the shop at the foot of the mountain. It was a short journey, even for the Golden-headed tribe, but the five peacocks landed on the ground, shaking off their feathers and wailing loudly.

"I'm so tired.", "I'm so exhausted.", "This leather is so heavy.", "It's so heavy that my wing hairs are imprinted.", "It's snowing again, why is there so much snow this year? .", "How disgusting."

The heavy snow the four people meant was a shallow layer of snow in the garden that barely reached the ankles.

Kong Yue hurriedly gave several people the 'shush' gesture.

Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, my brother will be angry soon.

——It's too late. The four of them winked at Kong Yue.

The bamboo door creaked open, and Kong Xingxing stood inside the door with a beautiful stinky face. He glanced at the four chirping peacocks and said in a bad tone: "What are you doing in front of my shop?"

"The wooden house was crushed by snow, Xiaoyue. Said we can live here."

Kong Yue almost cried, looking at her brother eagerly. Kong Xingxing closed the door with a bang, followed by a voice: "Get out." "Get out too."

"Kong Xingxing, you are the leader of our clan." "Don't you care whether we live or die?"

There was silence inside the door. Someone comforted her and said, "Xiaoyue, don't cry. The wooden house is broken. If you don't squeeze in, you may freeze to death. As long as the leader of our Peacock tribe lives, it will be fine."

Kong Yue:? ? ?

He didn't cry.

Moreover, his wooden house can still be slept in, and it has not collapsed. He repaired it before winter.

There is a peacock covering Kong Yue's mouth.

The door opened again. Kong Xingxing glanced at the four of them and said in a contemptuous tone: "You are all not as beautiful as me. I am the leader of the clan. That is my ability."

"But you four will never be able to be the leader in this life."

Four Peacocks: ...This Peacock Star is really hateful.

"Kong Yue, come in." After Kong Xingxing finished speaking, he turned his back and returned to the house.

The door was wide open. Kong Yue took a few steps first and then looked at the four people behind him. He wanted to plead with his brother - but in the end, he didn't need to plead at all. The four people rushed in. Kong Xingxing just glanced coldly and dismissed them. People sleep on one side.

"No one is allowed to come in to my place behind the curtain," Kong Xingxing said.

The other four people all agreed that this time it was true, Kong Xingxing was really angry, and they didn't dare to offend him. A few people started to spread their clothes, and Kong Yue said: "How do you know that my brother wants you to come in and sleep?"

"Your brother has always been like this. We grew up together. He said that the garland was not good-looking and that he didn't care about it. In fact, he was secretly like this. Did you do it secretly?"

Kong Yue was recalling, right?

Another person said: "Tell Kong Yue this. He was still young at that time and he will definitely not remember it. When your brother is older, he will pretend to be good. If you don't want it, then you don't want it. When we urge him and invite him, he will tell you." 'This is what you gave me, I'm too lazy to ask for it.' We have to give it to your brother, and we have to thank your brother for asking for it."

Kong Xingxing lay inside and listened to some nonsense from outside - them. They all grew up together, some are one or two years older than him, and have similar temperaments to him, otherwise there would not be only six of them left in the Peacock clan.

Others who are good-tempered, old or young, and can work hard have already fled to other mountains. The other four tribes, especially the leader of the Diao Ren tribe, said: The Peacock tribe is nothing but a scourge.

Kong Xingxing snorted coldly, it has nothing to do with the Peacock Clan how they like to live, they have to work diligently to raise ugly children for the Diao Clan?

Kong Yue knew her brother's temper, but she still defended her shortcomings and said in defense: "Then my brother must really not like it. You think my brother is beautiful and you wanted to give it to my brother, so my brother reluctantly accepted it."

"... ..." The other four.

"Finally I understand why your brother is still kind to you.", "Obviously Xiaoyue has a good temper, is well-behaved and obedient, and is not like your brother's bad temper. Yet he still stays in our clan. It seems that That's the reason." "You're just a kid, why are you worried about your brother?" "He won't really be killed.

" Nothing was said, but the four people who were chatting were silent for a moment. In fact, it was not a big deal if they were killed in a collision. However, facing Kong Yue, everyone quickly started laughing and playing with the children.

After chatting for a long time, Kong Yue secretly looked inside the curtain and whispered: "Actually, my brother is not the best-tempered towards me."

"?"

"When the Yuren Market opened in summer, there was a leopard man and sub-orc man -

"I know, it's a black-skinned sub-orc. I think he lived in Kong Xingxing's shop for several days. " People run.", "Tall, big, black and strong——"

Kong Yue winked wildly, and the starry face behind the curtain said coldly: "Kong Huo, if you say anything else, get out and go back to your shabby wooden house to sleep."

The room was quiet for a moment.

After a while, Kong Huo muttered: "I can't say anything anymore." It was obvious.

Kong Yue whispered: "My brother likes it very much."

"Kong Yue, please shut up, or else get out."

It was quiet again.

It was actually very cold in the bamboo house, and there was no firewood. It was separated by a curtain. Half of the five peacocks were lying on the ground and wrapped in skins, and the other half of the peacocks were sitting on futons.

It was dark, the wind and snow were strong, and there was a howling sound.

The six peacocks were growling hungry. Except for Kong Yue, who wanted to fly back and bring some food, some of the other four turned into bird shapes and nested under the skin, motionless.

A sense of indifference about breaking the jar, resigning oneself to fate, and just dying if I die.

Kong Xingxing was like this in the past. He lived one day at a time, and would never go to other mountains to live with other tribes. He would listen to others, look at ugly children, and simply kill them.

Even in death, he was still beautiful, with the most gorgeous and smooth feathers.

Death is not terrible.

...Close your eyes, and in front of you is the face of a black man. He is tall, has long arms and legs, and is very strong. He can pick him up. They have been doing it for so long, that guy She still had the strength to hold him, and her legs were not weak.

He didn't even let the black man's legs weaken.

Kong Xingxing suddenly opened his eyes.

He doesn't plan to die, at least not now.

Kong Yue got up quietly and planned to find some beans and millet he had stored up, which could be eaten raw.

"Kong Yue."

"Brother, am I making too much noise? I'll go to the top of the mountain to find food and come back in the evening."

Kong Xingxing's tone was still very arrogant, "Get up and don't pretend to be asleep. Kong Huo, don't freeze to death in my shop." There's a stench inside."

"..." Kong Huo, who had turned into a bird and was almost unconscious from cold or hunger, finally struggled to transform into a human, "What's going on

, Patriarch ?" It can be seen that Kong Huo is not very happy either.

But Kong Xingxing didn't care whether Kong Huogao was unhappy or not. He opened the curtain and stood up, looking at his people - all crooked, lazy and sick, except Kong Yue.

"I have decided to go to the Lion Man Tribe in the beginning of spring."

Kong Huo was so frightened that he couldn't care less about the discomfort of being woken up just now.

"Are you going to die?", "You look down on the other four races and think they are ugly, but the lion people are not good-looking either, so big -", "Kong Xingxing loves big people, you forgot.", "Those are also leopard people.

"Maybe he just loves big guys, right?" Kong

Yue said, "It's different.

Who loves that black guy?" Kong Xingxing thought to himself that there was just one thing he hadn't done yet. It would be uncomfortable to think about dying like this this winter.

Chapter 79

"What?!"

"All of these?"

"Can you even change the Eagle Clan? You despise the Eagle Clan the most."

"Nonsense, Kong Xingxing despises the Eagle Clan the most."

"Then Can the Eagle Clan be replaced?"

Kong Xingxing faced the four chirping peacocks, his face darkened, and he raised his eyebrows, "I remember what I said very clearly, are you too stupid? I said, take all these things. You can change it to food, whatever you want."

"Is that okay with the Eagle Clan?" Kong Huo still asked tentatively.

Kong Xingxing was almost furious. Kong Huo: ...I'm scared. Not to mention Kong Huo and others, even Kong Yue was afraid. She hugged the skirt. Her brother had been looking at this skirt for a long time and was not allowed to touch it. But now she had to take it to change things. She looked at her brother with a worried look, "Brother , you were reluctant to let go, they lined up to beat you and wouldn't change..."

"Brother, are you going to hit a tree? Don't die,"

Kong Yue said and started to cry.

There are many true-hearted Yumen among them. Some of them have lost their partners. The strong and infatuated Yumen will die by crashing into a tree to end their lives. There are also some who crash into cliffs and pretend to be mountains. But because Kong Xingxing often talks about hitting trees, Kong Yue now believes this.

Kong Xingxing: ...

It can be seen that Kong Xingxing is on the edge of patience. If Kong Yue had not said these words, and Kong Yue was still crying, Kong Xingxing would not have bothered to say it again.

"You guys are really going to piss me off." Kong Xingxing was originally hungry and cold, so his face turned pale with anger and his lips were a little bloodless. But because he was so handsome and cold, his appearance at this time was a bit delicate. Poor feeling of weakness.

The other four peacocks couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. If the males and females of the other four tribes saw Kong Xingxing like this, what would they exchange for it? Those feathered people would not be able to hold up the food and offer it to Kong Xingxing.

But... no one dares to say that.

Although Kong Xingxing is beautiful, he is really scary when he is angry.

"Then..."

"After the snow stops, I will go to the Lion Clan. They will go to the Leopard Clan. I will go to the Leopard Clan with the Lion Clan."

"Got it, find the big guy." Kong Huo answered.

Kong Xingxing looked at Kong Huo, and Kong Huo immediately made a gesture of "Clan leader, please continue talking."

"So this winter, I can't starve to death. These things can be exchanged for food, and I can barely share some with you." Anyway, I can exchange a lot. Kong Xingxing curled his lips and said.

Kong Yue was holding something in her arms, dazed. She didn't cry loudly this time, just shedding tears silently. "Brother, you went to the Lion Clan and the Leopard Clan, will you come back?"

Kong Xingxing didn't say anything because he didn't know that. Whether the black man will keep him, the feathered man and the orc have had a falling out, maybe the leopard man won't keep him, and the lion man may not take him there - he has a way, he should be able to.

But Kong Yue misunderstood. Kong Yue thought that his brother would not come back and left the mountain for a sub-orc. Her tears immediately fell down like strings of beads, "Brother, don't you want me anymore?"

"Didn't you find Jintou ?" Do you want to live a happy life?" Kong Xingxing said.

Kong Yue cried and cried, feeling very sad. Kong Huo couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Kong Xingxing, do you really don't understand, or are you just pretending not to understand? Kong Yue has a brother like you. If he doesn't go to the Jintou tribe to beg for food, will he see you starve to death?"

"We peacocks ?" One clan, let's go, are you really interested in the other four clans? But it's all about living. We don't have salt alone. If we pick it early, why do

you think it's so ugly? Kong Huo. Xingxing pretends not to understand because he wants Xiaoyue to pick a good family as soon as possible. Is it possible that he is like the four of us, who don't care about each other and live one day at a time, and if he can't survive, he will be hit and freeze to death? "

Everyone is like that." Silence fell. Kong Yue was worried about his brother and wanted to find a good hilltop. The Jintou tribesmen were good at talking to each other. Although they were more cowardly and timid, if Kong Yue went there and secretly moved things to Kong Xingxing, the Jintou tribesmen wouldn't say anything.

Kong Xingxing pretended not to understand and let Kong Yue find someone else - Kong Xingxing never thought about being a drag on Kong Yue. He was so arrogant, had a big temper, had a vicious mouth, and was picky. How could he let his younger brother secretly raise him? , living on his younger brother? It's just a matter of hitting a tree sooner or later.

"Brother, brother..." When Kong Yue heard this, her tears broke down and she looked at her brother in disbelief, "Brother, do you want to hit a tree and die? Is it true?"

Kong Xingxing was annoyed. He was like this before. Want to, but not now.

"If I don't want to live, why should I ask you to change my food?"

Kong Yue smiled with tears in her eyes when she heard this. It would be better if she didn't. Kong Huo and others wanted to open their mouths, but Kong Xingxing looked over and they shut up.

"I'm going to the Leopard People. If the stone doesn't like it, I'll find a way to come back."

"The Leopard People are so far away. If you go there through the Lion People, but they don't want you, will you be able to come back?"

Kong Xingxing smiled arrogantly, "You four, this doesn't sound like you are just following God and living and dying wherever you want."

It means that if you don't come back, you won't come back. You can die anywhere.

"Brother, I want to go to the Leopard People too!" Kong Yue said hurriedly and firmly upon hearing this. Then he said: "If you don't let me go, I will secretly follow you. I can fly, and I will die halfway..." Ai Ai's words.

Kong Xingxing was tired and too lazy to talk much.

"Let's go together. Follow me and die together. They are better than those golden-headed males you picked. They can't beat anyone and talk too much."

Kong Yue was happy and didn't care what her brother said.

When Kong Huo and the four of them heard this, they looked at each other and didn't say much. They just took their things and went out to exchange for food. The four of them left the shop and flew farther away before chattering.

"Kong Xingxing and Kong Yue are going to the Leopard People.", "What does the Leopard People look like?", "That black guy Kong Xingxing won't let me tell you. I'm so fascinated that Kong Xingxing doesn't want to die.", "How can you live with this nonsense?" Why die?", "If you want to live, you can live on any mountain, why not go?"

We are not peacocks who bow their heads. We would rather die proudly than bow our heads.

It seems that Kong Xingxing really likes that sub-orc - he is willing to bow his head and beg the lion-man tribe.

"Hmph, if I hadn't come to find you, would you have frozen to death in your shabby room?", "None of your business."

The chatter started again.

The four of them were like this, arguing while talking, but if the other four tribes intervened, the four of them would join together to quarrel with each other. Even the peacocks of the same tribe who went to other mountains would be scolded by the four of them if they tried to persuade them to make peace. If you go to other mountains, don't worry about the peacocks.

If a peacock is not arrogant, what kind of peacock is it?

Therefore, the other four clan leaders really look down on the current Peacock clan. Except for Kong Yue, who is relatively diligent and kind, the other five - starting with the clan leader Kong Xingxing, and those four, apart from being good-looking, have nothing to offer, and they also have a high neck. , what is it called.

But it is a pity that many members of the four tribes, even strong and powerful males and females, just like the four peacocks who stand tall and have beautiful faces.

The leader of the Diao Ren tribe hates Kong Xingxing the most.

After arguing for a while, the four of them, Kong Lu, said, "Will you follow or not?"

"Isn't this nonsense?", "I haven't seen the orc tribe yet.", "Since you can die anywhere, it wouldn't hurt to see where the leopard men are before you die.", "I don't think Kong Xingxing wants us to go." , "Nonsense, so don't tell him this first." "Hey, it's the same."

So the four of them didn't say much in the shop just now, and just came out to change things.

The things made by Kong Xingxing, especially the things made by taking off Kong Xingxing's own feathers, can be exchanged for a lot of food from any clan, especially the limited edition one-of-a-kind skirt that Kong Yue got - this is all People wanted to change before, but Kong Xingxing wouldn't let him change.

Now Kong Xingxing said that it didn't matter which clan he went to, so of course he would change to the one who gave him more food. Therefore, after a while, the five people exchanged a lot of food, especially Kong Yue who exchanged the most.

"Hahaha, the head of the Diao tribe is about to burst out of his eyes."

"I heard that the young men in Diao Feng thought that Kong Xingxing would not survive the winter, so they finally bowed their heads and waited for the winter to pass and come to find Kong Xingxing in the spring. Seeking a mate."

Kong Xingxing sneered, but he didn't say anything sarcastic. He told a few people, "Don't tell other people about my departure."

"Of course." "Don't worry,"

they said. Four of them are going too, why should they leak it to others, not even Kong Xingxing?

There are only six people in the Peacock clan. They have different thoughts and hide their own things, but it is strange that they can still be of the same mind.

-The

storm has stopped.

Zhuo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't seem to be worried about the weather in the past half month, and followed A Yin day and night to be happy, but in fact - he was still worried.

The frozen fish I packed up less than half a month ago can finally be sent out today.

Because the snow was too thick, Ah Yin simply shoveled the snow, and Zhuo Yan carried a small rattan basket on his back. The two of them hurried back. When they arrived at the entrance of Shitou's cave, Ah Yin howled, and Zhuo Yan also screamed. Soon Grandma Shitou's moans could be heard.

Let them in.

The two arrived. Shitou's mother and father invited them to come in and sit down. The stone bed of Shitou was still close to the inside.

Everyone's caves in the tribe are relatively tall and spacious, so even if wooden doors are installed, they cannot be tightly sealed and airtight, so they burn charcoal for heating. Zhuo Yan warned them a few words, and they are not afraid of being poisoned by covering them too tightly.

Because there is no such condition.

The temperature in Shitou's cave is pretty good. It's cold near the door, but it's warmer inside. When Shitou heard Zhuo Yan's voice, he jumped off the stone bed. A Yin's beast form stood guard at the entrance of the cave and did not enter.

The two of them smiled happily when they met, and then spoke.

"I heard you brought me fish." Stone said.

Zhuo Yan: "The fish has been cleaned up, just cook the rice and make the soup."

The two of them didn't speak in a polite manner. For example, how are you doing lately?

"How are the egg cubs doing?"

"Come in and see, Xiao Shitou and Xiao Yun are helping me hatch them."

Zhuo Yan took a look and saw two furry little leopards lying gently on the green eggs. Shitou said: "They almost had a fight over hatching the eggs. I asked them to take turns, one for a while, and sleep with me at night. Dayun would sneak over and sleep next to me."

"...Egg is quite happy. ." Zhuo Yan told the truth.

Stone cracked his mouth and smiled happily.

"I'm leaving," Zhuo Yan said. He evacuated after delivering the things, mainly because of the weather. The blizzard was going to start again at any time. The second stage of winter should not be taken lightly.

Shitou agreed to send Zhuo Yan off, and said, "I can only wait for the snow to melt to find you."

"Okay." Zhuo Yan nodded.

After the two briefly talked, the things were delivered, and Zhuo Yan rode A Yin back. When he was about to get home, the wind picked up again. Zhuo Yan shook off the snow, closed the door, and said, "This weather is really -"

It wasn't his imagination, it was really getting colder and colder.

Zhuo Yan was actually a little worried, but it was the same old saying - he couldn't solve anything by himself, and it was impossible for the entire tribe to relocate. Besides, to stay away from this weather, you would have to travel half a month and a month, and there are many suitable places to live within this distance. The tribe took root.

...I don't know what the scenery is behind the mountains of the Feathered People.

The days after that were no different from before, eating, sleeping, cleaning, until this day, it hadn't snowed for several days, ushering in the third stage of winter.

Zhuo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the second phase was a bit colder, it was finally over. Now he looked at his cave -

he was afraid of being bored in the winter in the autumn, so he prepared a lot of wood, saying he wanted to sew blankets and make Furniture, because there are many animals in the house and they eat a lot, the big wooden basin before was not enough, so Zhuo Yan also said to make another one.

The result -

he didn't do any work. For a whole winter, except for fishing and cleaning up, I did no other work. Zhuo Yan: His face is yellow.

After the wind and snow stopped, within a few days, the sun broke through the thick clouds and became brighter.

Zhuo Yan slept until midnight as usual and got up at three o'clock in the morning. Ah Yin boiled hot water and they cleaned it and went out to pour water. The cave door opened and a ray of sunlight shone into the cave - no matter how bright the winter light was, it was just like that. But there is a colored light refracted deep into the cave.

"What is it?" Zhuo Yan said to himself.

Ah Yin looked at the light source, remembered, and said, "Brother, the stone picked up from the snow deer."

"Stone? I remembered it." Zhuo Yan suddenly realized.

The crossbody bag placed on the shelf, due to the weight of the stone and the usual rubbing of things, the mouth of the bag was loosened, and the light just hit the transparent light green stone, and the reflected light came in.

Zhuo Yan opened the bag, took out the stone, and looked at the entrance of the cave.

Light passes through the stone easily and also refracts some other colors of light.

"This stone is very light-transmissive -" Zhuo Yan said this, his eyes lit up, "Ah Yin, if you use this stone as a window."

But soon Zhuo Yan became a little frustrated.

A Yin saw her brother's happiness for a moment and then fell down quickly. She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother, what is a window? Can't this stone be used as a window?" "

A house is built next to the window." Zhuo Yan pulled A Yin there. At the entrance of the cave, he took a piece of firewood and started drawing in the snow. He pointed out what a window was to A Yin, "The house is still good, the windows are light-transmissive, and the room is bright. The cave is also good, but I always feel stuffy after living there for a long time." "

But there is no way, this is the season in this continent.

Zhuo Yan first considered building a house, but the long and cold winter gave up his idea. The beast tide was actually not bad, and high walls could be built to block the danger.

"Brother, can't the house be built with mud? If you are afraid of the cold, let's build it thicker." Seeing that her brother liked the house but not the hole, Ah Yin pointed to the wall of the house and said, "It's as thick as the hole."

Zhuo Yan carefully dug into the house. Xing thought, "Actually, it's possible. You're right. The walls can be made of mud bricks and wood, with a rammed foundation. The roof can be made of large wood, and a flue can be built. It can be used as a fireplace in the house for cooking and heating. The whole A high wall will be built around the tribe.

"We have already made pottery, and it will be easy to make bricks.

"

Ah Yin asked her brother why he waited until spring came, and they could try to do it when they were free. Zhuo Yan rubbed Ah Yin's cheek happily. No matter what ideas he had, Ah Yin always supported him and really followed through.

"Not now. Building a house is a big deal. Living in it is important for everyone's safety during the winter. We are not productive right now - we just lack tools. Stone knives and bone knives are too slow, and we don't have clothes to wear. We only have to fill our stomachs now, and there are windows. Things." Zhuo Yan focused his attention on the transparent stone in his hand again.

In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the tribe now has plenty of food, including salt, enough potatoes grown, and the peanuts, mung beans, and millet he brought back. Only by accumulating enough food can he have the strength to do other things.

Clothes - He also received ramie seeds.

Zhuo Yan has no "dejected" thoughts now, not because he is trying to make a big deal, but because it is really feasible to build a house in the future - the cold resistance of this transparent stone needs to be verified again.

He first had the idea of ​​building a house, but the windows had no glass. If the cold resistance was not good, the entire wall would be built very high, leaving only a small window. It would be the same as sleeping in a cave - it would be pitch black and there would be no lighting. .

It would be better to sleep in a cave, at least it would be warm, warm in winter and cool in summer.

It's different now.

Zhuo Yan regained his confidence. He pondered the transparent stone in his hand, "Ah Yin, give me the bone knife and stone knife."

Ah Yin ran to get the things.

Zhuo Yan chopped down the transparent stone with a stone knife. He was quite strong. When he chopped it, the surface of the stone was slightly worn and seemed to be quite strong. "Ah Yin, chop it down." He handed over the stone knife.

"Brother, do you want to use more force or less force?"

"Strong force."

"Wait, let's go to Zhongli first."

Ah Yin smiled, said yes, and took the stone knife 'Zhongli' to chop it up. Cracks appeared in the transparent stone. Zhuo Yan: My mouth dropped.

"Brother..."

Zhuo Yan looked at the cracked transparent stones and said, "Forget it, you chop it hard." He still had a few more.

Ah Yin chopped it down with great force, not only breaking into pieces, but also shattering into powder.

Zhuo Yan: Wow wow wow wow wow.

"Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No."

"I heard it."

"How could you hear me screaming in my heart?" Zhuo Yan was amused. Ah Yin saw her brother smiling and gave him the remaining bag of stones. They still have it.

Zhuo Yan muttered: "The worst is to live in the cave and maintain the status quo, there is no harm in it." If you think about it, then let it go.

He placed a transparent stone in the snow to test its resistance to the cold. I also thought, in fact, as a window, it does not have to collide with the stone. The main thing is that it has good cold and heat resistance. The wall can be higher, the window can be upward, and the window can be opened wider to transmit light.

Anyway, experiment slowly.

At the end of winter, Zhuo Yan found a new interest in studying transparent stones. Apart from sleeping, the two of them would play with the stones. After a snowy and cold night, when Ah Yin struck them with a stone knife the next day, he found that the frozen transparent stones were smaller than It was a little firmer yesterday.

"... You can try roasting it over a fire."

After being roasted in the cooking stove, there was no change in appearance. After being beaten, it was the same as the first time, and it did not become particularly strong. What Zhuo Yan thought was that when the kiln is opened in spring, You can try a higher temperature to see if it can burn into a liquid.

The coldest winter is over, and the snow level is getting lower.

There was a loud cry under the entrance of Zhuo Yan's house: "Brother Zhuo Yan, come and skate!"

Xiao Xian's voice.

"Zhuo Yan, Zhuo Yan, I brought everything."

"Did he hear it?", "He must have heard it, and A Yin is here."

In addition to the rocks, Qiao and others were there, bringing skating tools: Simple leather 'trailer'.

Ah Yin came out first and cried: "You go first, my brother and I will be here soon." Zhuo Yan in the cave held his waist and asked in a low voice: "Are they gone?"

"Brother gone."

A Yin didn't say, Xiao Xian also asked A Man why he was the one who spoke instead of Brother Zhuo Yan, and Zhuo Yan was not busy in winter . Why didn't brother come out?

A Man slapped Xiao Xian on the head: You are so stupid, you forgot that A Yin is an adult this snow season.

Xiaoxian: What happens when you become an adult?

Aman: Ask Joe.

Qiao didn't say anything, but touched Ada's neck, and Ada ran quickly to the river. A Tou also carried his brother to the river. A Man sat on his younger brother, a primary school student. His brother was staggering when he walked. A Man asked if it was heavy? I told you that if you can't carry it, I still want to come out to play.

Oman's younger brother, a primary school student, said stubbornly: "It's okay, don't go back, let's play, brother."

"...Okay." In fact, Aman slid with both feet on the ground.

Zhuo Yan hurriedly put on clothes, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and scrubbed his body, especially his butt. It seemed that he couldn't be so shameless and impatient in the future. Ah Yin took the leather and wiped it for his brother without him seeing it. Zhuo Yan blushed and said, "Hurry up then."

...In the end it was too late.

Xiao Xian asked in a loud voice: "Brother Zhuo Yan, why are you so slow?"

"You asked so many questions as a kid, and you all said that A Yin is an adult, and the two of them must be doing something." A Man teased with a smile.

Xiao Xian: "What's the matter?"

Zhuo Yan blushed and hit Xiao Xian's head, "You asked knowingly." Xiao Xian held his head and stuck out his tongue. After thinking for a while, he finally knew what it was. Then he said with a smile: "It seems that Aman is really right."

"We are studying stones." Zhuo Yan faced the collective banter of his friends and found a serious excuse.

Sure enough -

Qiao: "What's wrong with Shitou? I haven't seen him yet."

"Has Shitou's eggs hatched?"

Zhuo Yan knew that several people had misunderstood, so he said first: "No, I haven't seen him half a month ago." After seeing the stone, the eggs haven't hatched yet." He then said, "I'm talking about a transparent stone. Xiao Xian should know."

Both Qiao and A Man looked at Xiao Xian, with confusion on their faces. What a transparent stone.

"Oh, I know what Brother Zhuo Yan is talking about. When my second brother Xue Ji first came, he and A Yin ran out to play." When Xiao Xian said this, he said angrily, "My second brother said Brother Zhuo Yan I didn't go, they were all orcs, they said they didn't want to take me with them, they thought I was troublesome, but when they came back they said that Ah Yin was carrying Brother Zhuo Yan on his back,"

Ah Tou explained anxiously.

Zhuo Yan helped explain: "Ah Yin didn't tell Ah Tou in advance that I was the same. When we set off, your second brother knew that I was going too."

"Ah? That's it." Xiao Xian's anger subsided a little.

Aman and Qiao were more curious about transparent stones, which they had never seen before.

Zhuo Yan said: "Run to the northwest for eight or nine days. There are snow deer over there. The meat of the snow deer is very unpalatable, and the wings are dirty and full of wormholes."

Qiao finally understood. She heard what Ada said before, A Yin I asked around to see if there was any special prey that I wanted to give to Zhuo Yan to use as a mate, and it seemed that the snow deer would be the one.

"The Snow Deer can't go anywhere. We ran for so long in the cold weather, and finally found those transparent green stones. I thought about it and came here, so I brought some back as souvenirs."

A few people were talking and pulling each other to skate on the river. They had all done it last year and now everyone is very experienced. Xiao Xian soon became happy and forgot about himself. He and his brother A Man also played together and took off on the ice.

Zhuo Yan thought for a moment and didn't tell him everything. After all, it was still early to build a house, and he still had to experiment with making glass. Anyway, this transparent stone distracted Aman from teasing him about sex, so that was fine.

So I went skating happily.

...

It has snowed a few times in the Yumen's territory, and it is damp and cold. Before the weather clears up, there are impatient feathermen from the four tribes coming in front of the Peacock Clan's shop to seek a mate - they feel that when Kong Xingxing spends the winter, he will take advantage of them. Exchanging feather ornaments for food is a signal to release courtship.

Kong Xingxing was so beautiful that not only the females but also the males of the four tribes were attracted by her. Everyone was vying to be the first, fearing that they would be late and Kong Xingxing would like someone else.

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

So annoying. Kong Xingxing had a dark face and cursed over and over again before they all rushed back. The four of them, Kong Huo and Kong Lu, were holding back their voices and laughing.

This evening, it was still a little cold.

Kong Xingxing said to Kong Yue: "Pack up and leave tonight."

"Ah? Brother, are you so fast?"

"If you don't want to leave, just stay -"

"I'll go, I'll go, brother, I'm not reluctant to leave." Kong Yue He quickly packed his things, fearing that his brother would not want him.

After a while, Kong Xingxing saw Kong Yue carrying a big burden and frowned, "Can you carry such a heavy burden?"

"But brother, it's all for food. The Lion Clan is too far away. We need to eat." "

Bring less," Kong Xingxing said.

Kong Yue was very obedient and poured out half of the food in the bag and gave it all to Kong Huo and the four others. Kong Xingxing said nothing more. When it got dark, Kong Xingxing turned into a bird shape, carrying a leather bag on his back, and Kong Yue did the same, and the two brothers flew away.

The four people who pretended to be very busy in the shop saw this.

"Hurry up, hurry up.", "I have already packed it and hid the baggage.", "Do you want to carry the remaining food?", "It's too heavy.", "At least carry some."

The four of them hurriedly I was busy and afraid that Kong Xingxing and Kong Yue would fly far away, so I packed it up hastily, quickly changed into my original shape and flew out. The door of the shop left behind was wide open. In the dark night, the original garden was withered and withered, standing lonely at the foot of the mountain.

Without the shining stars, this is just an ordinary bamboo house.

It only took ten days for the Eagle and Eagle people to fly from the Feathered Market to the Lion Tribe. It would have taken the same amount of time for the Lions to rush over, but it took the six people of the Peacock Tribe a full twenty days.

These twenty days have been extremely difficult for the six Peacocks.

Kong Huo and the others had been flying out for a long time when they bumped into Kong Xingxing, who was resting on a branch. Kong Xingxing's eyes were straight at that time. The four of them said: "Haha, what a coincidence, patriarch.", "We didn't come here with you. "We also brought food, are you hungry?"

"Hmph!" Kong Xingxing's nostrils were filled with smoke.

Kong Yue was afraid that her brother would be angry.

Finally we hit the road. After twenty days, there was not enough food. The peacocks were so pampered that they felt tired after flying for a while and had to stop to rest. They felt that the night was too cold, the food was too hard, and there was no place to sleep, so their hair became rough.

Kong Xingxing: "Shut up!"

But they flew to the territory of the Lion Tribe.

The patrolling lion-man orcs initially thought that these feathered men were here for revenge and were very wary, but another orc said: "Are the peacocks here for revenge?"

"They look like they are about to die."

"The feathers look very bad."

" The eyes seem to be straight. "

The Peacock Revenge seemed to be a joke. The lion-man orcs were not so vigilant and lazily asked a few people to get out of their tribe's territory. If the Peacock tribe had no salt, they had never made a deal with them. After a quarrel, several orcs would kill each other the first time they met.

The lions spoke harshly and roared.

"Their mouths smell so bad.", "Are they not cleaning them well?", "It's so smoky."

Kong Xingxing listened to the four people behind him talking, and noticed that the lion-man orc's eyes gradually turned from lazy to angry, and suddenly: "Shut up, everyone."

Then Kong Xingxing turned into a human form.

"Patriarch, orcs don't have good eyesight. They like big guys but don't like us.", "It's useless for you to turn into a human form, patriarch.", "You forgot that the patriarch also likes big guys."

Kong Xingxing stood with a dark face. The lion man's territory was directly face to face with the roaring lion man, and he said: "You should know Stone from the leopard man tribe. He is Zhuo Yan's best friend. He likes me very much. I hope you will take us to the leopard man tribe." "

This is my certificate."

Kong Xingxing took out a piece of bamboo tube and tipped it over. Fine sandy white salt poured out from the bamboo tube and poured it into the palm of his hand, showing it to the lion-man orc who came straight towards him.

In just a second, the lion man's sharp claws fell on Kong Xingxing's face.

But the lion-man orc stopped.

Chapter 80

"It turns out that it is salt."

"...You are really talking nonsense. You don't know that it is salty?"

"I know. I thought Kong Xingxing deceived someone with his beauty. "Salt."

"I thought it was the salt that Kong Yue asked the Jintou tribe for."

"It's white. We Yu tribes don't have white salt. Aren't you curious?

" Why don't you ask Kong Xingxing?"

Kong Huo choked and said, "You're too lazy to ask."

"Then why are you talking about us?" "No matter how it came about, Kong Xingxing didn't give it to him. It won't poison us." "It doesn't matter if it's poisoned, do you think it hurts if it hits a tree or if it's poisoned?"

Kong Huo now knows that this white salt is the salt of the Leopard People.

Hey, the Leopard People have salt?

No wonder...

the four people instantly figured out the cause and effect. No wonder the monsters were no longer afraid of the people and started to fight against the Yingman - but it was none of their business. The Yingman deserved his death. Thanks to his salt, he even threatened them with words.

Hahahaha, who cares? I would rather get hit and die than make friends with those ugly people - I would rather sleep with them.

"Our clan leader is still very courageous.", "Kong Xingxing is keeping it secret, it's all hidden.", "You didn't even ask where Bai Yan came from.", "Didn't I tell you that I'm too lazy to ask? Why did you Don't ask." "It's none of your business!"

Kong Yue looked at his brother and the lion man in fear, and listened to the quarrel next to him. After a while, the lion man said something to another orc over there. An orc ran back to the tribe and asked them to wait.

Waited for a while.

Kong Xingxing was a little impatient, but when he thought about the Yu Men arriving at the Lion Tribe, they had flown for twenty days over such a short distance. The big man said that it would take more than twenty days for the Leopard Tribe to come here. Without the Lion Tribe to lead the way, how could he bring four of them? The talkative trash flies for forty or fifty days?

If we find the wrong way again, summer may not arrive.

never mind. Tolerate.

The lion-man orc arrived quickly, glanced at Kong Xingxing, and then looked at the five peacocks behind them, all in the shape of birds, and confirmed that they were peacocks - the fancy feathers of this tribe cannot be fooled. The orc asked: "Are you all going? "

Yes, all six members of the clan will go," Kong Xingxing said.

The lion-man orcs were shocked when they heard 'six people in the whole clan', and the last trace of caution turned into sympathy. There were only six people in this clan... six people... six people...

in a trance, in a trance.

But soon, in the salt-changing team that set off for the Leopard Tribe, the orc from the Lion Tribe who sympathized with the Peacock Tribe repeatedly had a "murderous intention" every day, because of these six peacocks, except for one cub, the others It's all so annoying and torturous.

But now, with the half tube of white salt, Kong Xingxing was allowed to enter the lion-man tribe by "six people from the whole clan", and came to the lion-man tribe leader, who wanted to ask questions.

"What are you doing in the Leopard Man Tribe? Who ordered you?"

The Lion Man Clan Leader was very cautious and could not bring the crisis to the Leopard Man Tribe.

The atmosphere was a bit serious, with several people surrounded by orcs. The four Kong Huo people who were originally quarreling now became quiet and stood behind Kong Xingxing and Kong Yue, protecting the two brothers.

It's like the smell of gunpowder is about to explode.

Kong Xingxing's original serious look suddenly softened. His long hair fell on his white shoulders, and he was wearing a skirt made of leaves. It was very simple, but he had a handsome appearance. He was running all the way, and his face looked a bit haggard. Exhausted, her eyes were red at this time, she was about to cry, and her mouth was a bit hoarse.

The atmosphere of gunpowder about to explode subsided unconsciously.

"Chief of the Lion Man Clan, this story is a long one. Last year at the Yumen Market, the Leopard Man Zhuo Yan brought two orcs and three sub-orcs to my shop. At first glance, the leopard man, sub-orc Shi Shi and I "You got it right."

Kong Xingxing originally wanted to say that the stone was a coercion, but after hearing that the lion-man tribe leader respected the leopard-man tribe and did not want to enter the leopard-man tribe at any risk, he could only change the story to love each other. Sweet, not a stone-cold man who runs away after using it - in fact, Kong Xingxing grinds his teeth when he mentions that big guy.

The two slept together for eight days, and the big guy gave it to him whenever he wanted, day and night. What was the result? He just ran away, stuffed only a packet of salt, and ran away.

Oh.

"He is a sub-orc, and I am the leader of the Peacock Clan, but there are only six people left in our Peacock Clan. He remembers the Leopard Clan, and I have the responsibility of the Peacock Clan. When we were separated last year, he hugged me and cried, saying he couldn't bear to leave me... ..."

The four people, Kong Huo and Kong Green, almost couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard Kong Xingxing said that they had the responsibility of being the leader of the Peacock clan. Kong Xingxing wished they could all go to live in the mountains of other clans. The Peacock clan was disbanded. Good luck to Kong Xingxing. Hitting a tree is over.

"...One winter, I couldn't bear to eat salt every time. I thought about the stone and the eight days I spent with him in the shop. We watered the flowers together, ate together, chatted together, and hugged each other."

They did it in the garden and the big guy crushed his azaleas. Because I missed cooking all the time, I ate cold millet dumplings every day. The guy didn't like millet, so he replaced it with mung beans. The big guy liked mung beans very much and said green was the same color as him.

What can I say, that little mung bean can be as beautiful as his hair?

"He said that since the Leopard People have salt, they won't have to face troubles from the Feather People in the future. He asked me to leave the Feather People with him. The Feather People also bully us, the Peacock Clan... However, we have lived here for so long, and my people are a bit I don't want to leave. This winter, I missed Shitou and became seriously ill... cough cough." Kong Xingxing's beautiful face was full of sadness, and he covered his mouth and coughed.

The big guy didn't say anything about the leopard man having salt, he guessed it.

Kong Yue hurriedly said: "Brother, are you still sick?!"

Kong Huo hurriedly pulled Kong Yue, and Kong Lu opened her mouth and said, "Your brother was afraid that you would be worried and never said anything."

"Brother, Brother Wuwu, what are you doing? If you don't tell me, I won't know. "

That means your brother is not sick at all.

Kong Xingxing waved his hands, and said with strength and weakness: "It's okay. At that time, I thought, if I was about to die, I would like to see the stone and take another look at him..."

After hearing this, the lion-human orcs felt soft-hearted and had tears in their eyes. He turned red and thought to himself: He has an impression of the Leopard Man tribe's stone. He is a very strong and beautiful sub-orc. It's not good to like anyone. He likes this weak peacock. Some people think: Who said Yuren don't love their sub-orcs? This ugly peacock fan is even sick.

After a long time, the lion-man clan leader said let's go together.

The Lion Man Tribe left the Peacock Clan here, and they also had to prepare goods for the Leopard Man Tribe. Last year, they did not prepare much, but they brought so much salt back. They had enough meat to eat throughout the winter, but after the spring, the prey became thin and thin. Xiao, you can't bring some bacon over there.

This is not good.

The lion man planned to try his luck by running farther away to see if there was a big short dragon to hunt.

The six peacocks settled in the lion-man tribe. They were assigned to a forest tree and were given a few pieces of skin and a few sticks to build a tent. Kong Xingxing really disliked this environment but could only stay.

Kong Huo and the four others were chattering again. Kong Xingxing turned into a bird and squatted on the treetop, lazily watching: "You four, Kong Yue, let the four of them do it."

"Why don't you do it!", "That's right."

"Because I am Patriarch, hurry up." Kong Xingxing said.

Kong Yue hurriedly said that I can do it too, so I will do it. Kong Huo and the other four couldn't really bully a child. They were just used to the chat mode. At this moment, while working, they joked about Kong Xingxing and said, "The great patriarch is sick from missing him."

"Hahahaha, I just heard the lion-man orc said , We won't let them come to see us." "Are you afraid that we will charm their sub-orcs?" "No, we are afraid that if we like the lion-man orcs, we will be like Kong Xingxing, and we will not be able to stand up anymore. We are going to the Leopard Man Tribe."

The four people laughed, Kong Xingxing still has this day!

In the past, Kong Xingxing was chased by five mountaintops, but now in the mouth of the orcs, Kong Xingxing chased the sub-orcs, making them laugh to death.

Kong Xingxing: ...so annoying!

All this is caused by the big guy. When he sees the big guy, he will make the big guy's legs weak and unable to stand up!

The lion-man tribe hurriedly prepared the goods, also wanting to set off early this time - if they wanted to find a more convenient and shorter road, they could explore it. Even so, it was already half a month before the Lions changed to the Salt Team.

-The

sky is sunny, the snow has melted, and the ground is a bit muddy. The river water was roaring and very fast. This continent has ushered in spring. The saplings looked like dead bubble-leaf trees weighed down by the snow. The saplings grew crookedly again, and small seedlings emerged from the soil next to them.

One bubble leaf tree, now three.

Zhuo Yan took stock of the food in the cave. There was quite a lot of it. He didn't have to go hunting for the next month, just like last year, so the prey could multiply. This is a good thing.

Orcs and orcs in the tribe go out every day, and they are not afraid of the mud on the ground. They have been holding it in for a whole winter. Everyone comes out with leather, stone pots, pottery pots, whatever can be scrubbed to wash - these are the orcs who love cleanliness.

Those who don't clean up are the orcs who carry the sub-orcs out for a walk, wandering around in the forest next to the tribe.

"Brother Zhuo Yan, why don't you go play with Ah Yin?" Xiao Xian was curious. Logically speaking, Brother Zhuo Yan should like to go out for a walk with Ah Yin.

After Aman listened to the music, Zhuo Yan said...

"Is there any other reason? He has been holding back with Ayin all winter. He definitely wants to come out to play with us. When the weather gets warm in a few days, you won't be able to see him. Zhuo Yan. "It's time to come into heat.

Zhuo Yan had indeed spent a winter that was a bit "indulgent," "wine-filled, meat-filled," and "extremely debauched." He wanted to find something serious to do with his friends, but when he heard Aman's joke, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about the spring estrus period. In fact, he was still a little curious. .

It's really like that—ahem.

Anyway, he drove Ah Yin away to play with his friends. Everyone should be "self-disciplined and healthy" for a few days. If he did too much, he was afraid of harming his body. In the end, it was Aman's turn to bite Xiao Xian, just to take a rest during the estrus period.

Zhuo Yan: ...I thank you Aman.

"Let's go see Shitou. I wonder how his egg cub is doing." Zhuo Yan brought the topic back to serious matters.

Xiao Xian quickly clapped his hands in agreement, and everyone went to the stone cave.

Shitou was cleaning up the cave, pouring charcoal ash outside, sweeping and wiping. When he saw them coming, he showed his white teeth and was very happy, "Why are you here?"

"Where are your mom and dad? Are they not in the cave?" "How many times did we call you?" Aman asked.

Shitou: "My mother went out for a walk with my father on her back. I was working and didn't hear you."

"How is Danzai?" Zhuo Yan asked.

Shitou put down the broom and said, "Come and see."

Entering inside, there were two little leopard cubs lying on their backs on a stone bed. Dayun was watching from the side. Shitou pulled it casually, and the two cubs fell down on the stone bed. Turning towards the sky, a green egg was revealed in its original position.

"They are still eggs."

"Do they seem to be darker in color?"

Shitou looked at Zhuo Yan with bright eyes, "You think so too. I remember that the color was green and tender when I was born, but now it has become a bit darker. Kong Xingxing's hair is the same, it shines very green in the sun, and at night it is the same color as an eggshell."

At this point, Shitou's eyes were filled with a fleeting look of loss.

Zhuo Yan pretended he didn't see it and asked if he could reach out and touch it? When Xiao Xian heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked me to ask for it too. The stone was very generous. "Touch it. I was afraid it would break before, but my younger brothers and sisters have touched it. It's very strong."

"Similar to me."

Several people reached out and touched the eggshell.

They played for a while and Joe's voice came out. Qiao also came over and said, "I was waiting under Zhuo Yan's house for a while. I knew you were here at Shitou when I didn't see you."

"Sister Qiao, come and touch the egg cub."

"Can I touch it?"

"Okay, okay, Dan Zai is really interesting."

Dan Zai can't speak, it's just a green egg, but because it's born from a stone - of course it's also because of the eggs laid with peacocks, sub-orcs and feathered people can lay eggs. It is a rumor among the four orc tribes.

Of course everyone is curious.

After touching for a while and chatting with Shitou, everyone went back. Shitou still has to work at home and cannot go out. Zhuo Yan said: "After coming to see us, we will play."

"Although Dan Zai is very cute, Shitou can't go out to see us." Xiaoxian still likes everyone to talk and work together. days.

Zhuo Yan: "Just wait until the egg hatches."

"When will it hatch?"

Zhuo Yan chatted, "A sub-beast gives birth to a cub for six months and a feathered man two months. Maybe the spring is a little hotter."

"It's still a long time." Xiao Xian wanted to see it quickly. "Will the stone cub hatch out a little leopard or a little peacock?"

Qiao: "Maybe a peacock, if it's a leopard, it will be a cub."

Aman nodded. nod. Zhuo Yan thought so too.

It may sound like a long day, but it goes by very quickly. The sun has been shining for three consecutive days and the muddy roads have dried out. The clan members have begun to plan for this year's kiln burning, as well as for plowing and sowing. It's all work.

At the same time, Zhuo Yan discovered another characteristic of transparent stones.

Because the kiln was about to open, Zhuo Yan took people to inspect the kiln that day. If it was crushed by snow and needed to be repaired, of course he wanted to calcine transparent stones when it came to firing the kiln. He asked Xiao Xian to bring him over too - the number of his stones Not too much, of course more experiments, calculating the temperature and so on.

As a result, Xiao Xian ran over screaming with a bag of stones.

"No, no, no, brother Zhuo Yan, my transparent stone is no longer transparent!"

Zhuo Yan: Huh?

When Xiao Xian opened the leather, the fist-sized stone inside turned into gray, a bit like an ordinary stone, but if you look closely, you can see some 'transparent' qualities, that is, it turned into a frosted gray stone, which was not as bright as before.

Zhuo Yan also frowned.

"Where did you put it?"

"After my second brother gave it to me, I played with it for a day and then put it back. Later, I heard you say that I found the transparent stone again and kept it on the stone bed in the cave. It looks like this today. "

"Brother Zhuo Yan, can't we play?"

"I don't know either." Zhuo Yan opened his wallet. There were broken and cracked stones inside, so he poured them all out.

Xiaoxian Amanqiao and the other three were surprised.

"Hey, Zhuo Yan, why are your stones transparent?", "I have seen a transparent stone.", "It's quite beautiful.", "Brother Zhuo Yan, why are my stones like this?"

Zhuo Yan : "A Yin and I chopped this one into two pieces with stone knives. This one was left in the snow for a night and became stronger after being frozen. With the same force, we cut it into two pieces. It's not like the one above. One was reduced to crumbs. This one I threw into the fire and burned. "

Now these are transparent.

"Let it sit in the sun for a while and let me see if it changes color." Zhuo Yan thought for a while and said. If it really turns into dust due to exposure to light, then his dream of building a house will be out of the question. As the old saying goes, it is better to live in a cave without glass windows.

The weather in this continent is not like that in ancient times. Not to mention window paper, even leather windows are not insulated from the cold.

Zhuo Yan squatted aside, paying attention to the changes in the light, praying in his heart not to turn gray, no, no -

the temperature outside is now higher and the sun is shining directly. They squatted there for a long time, and finally their legs felt a little numb. Someone in the kiln factory He called Zhuo Yan and asked Zhuo Yan whether the kiln could still be used. Zhuo Yan ran to provide technical guidance. At noon, Qiao said: "Zhuo Yan, come and see."

Zhuo Yan ran over and saw that the few stones he placed on the ground, including the ones Xiao Xian brought over, were all dusty, with only One is an exception. The ones Xiao Xian brought were grayer, no different from ordinary stones.

The one that is still very translucent is the burned transparent stone.

Zhuo Yan:! ! !

Happy.

Very good.

Since it can become transparent after being burned, will the stone that is now gray become transparent again if it is burned at high temperature?

Zhuo Yan just did what he said. He still had charcoal at home, so he moved here and found a good kiln. The other sub-orcs saw him busy and asked Zhuo Yan what he was doing.

"Before winter, Ah Yin took me to the northwest and found some transparent stones. However, when the temperature was high in spring and the sun was shining, these transparent stones turned into gray stones. I wanted to burn them to see if they could be burned back." Zhuo Yan Lift the two stones in front of everyone.

One is transparent and the other is dusty.

Everyone was surprised and asked curiously: "Zhuo Yan, what can transparent stones do?", "Transparent ones look much better.", "They are just stones, what can transparent stones do?", "It looks good."

Because Zhuo Yan It didn't mention its actual use, but everyone thought it looked good, so they were happy to help Zhuo Yan. Since I had nothing to do, I just used the kiln to see if it was okay.

So it started burning that day.

"How long does it take to bake?", "Is it the same as burning pottery?", "I don't know."

Zhuo Yan didn't know either, and planned to give it a try for an hour. Zhuo Yan threw all the gray stones in, leaving the transparent ones in the leather.

On this day, the sub-orcs cleaned other kilns, and the orcs went to chop firewood and burn charcoal. In addition to staying here to help Zhuo Yan burn transparent stones, everyone also had to prepare to wash the yellow mud. In short, the entire tribe became busy.

After a brief hour.

Start the kiln, turn off the flame, wait for a while, the temperature of the kiln drops, and the holes are opened. Zhuo Yan can see the transparent stone, which can really be made transparent!

"Wow, Brother Zhuo Yan, you can really burn it."

"It's pretty good-looking."

"It looks good, but it's all stones."

Zhuo Yan used a stick to pull out the stones. The stick felt a little strange, as if it had been poked in. , but this is a stone - Zhuo Yan was startled for a moment, and looked closer. There was a shallow hole poked by a wooden stick in the transparent stone.

The stone is softened and can be poked into holes.

...Just now they followed the method of firing pottery and waited for the temperature to drop before opening the kiln. What if the entire temperature was very high, did the stone become soft? However, it becomes soft at high temperatures and hardens when exposed to air. It requires a very high technical temperature to roll it into a glass shape.

This is a bit difficult for today's crude equipment.

If the stones are ground into powder, add some water, stir evenly, turn into liquid and then boil them dry, or dry them in the shade, how strong will they be?

Zhuo Yan was very curious and eager to face this transparent stone.

Ah Yin, who had finished his patrol early, saw his brother like this and knew that he would be busy again. He glanced at the transparent stone and hoped that everything his brother wanted would come true.

My brother wants to live in a house. You need to add some oil to turn transparent stones into windows. Ah Yin stared at the transparent stone and thought.

The next day A Yin ran to find Daya and asked Daya for a transparent stone.

Big Ya: "My friend likes it very much, so I can only give you one."

"Can't you have more? The transparent stone will turn into a dusty Big Ya. If you don't believe me, go and see." A Yin said.

Daya laughed: "You are trying to deceive me with this stone. I don't believe it. How could it turn into ashes when it is transparent when you get it back?"

"You must not have been in the tribal kiln yesterday."

Daya: ...it hasn't been fired yet . As for the kiln, he took Cong Lu for a walk in the forest.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. I can only give you two, no more." Daya still thought that Ah Yin wanted to deceive him about the transparent stone.

Cong Lu heard it from inside and joked that he would give it to Ah Yin if he liked it. He hadn't looked at transparent stones for a long time and there was nothing interesting about these stones. Da Ya said no, you obviously like it very much, you took it back and kept touching it.

"...I like that you came back safely and brought something with you." Cong Lu said.

He will like whatever you bring.

Daya was a little silent. He had known that he should have taken Cong Lu with him, but there were no Ya-orcs to go hunting with the orcs - but A-yin took Zhuo Yan with him, and Zhuo Yan also said that it was not hunting, but looking for things.

"If there's another time, I'll take you there with me."

Cong Lu said, "Can I go?"

"Zhuo Yan can go. I'm better than that kid A Yin. I can definitely protect you."

Waiting at the entrance of the cave Ah Yin: "Hurry up, Daya, my brother wants to use it."

"What are you urging!" Daya shouted.

Cong Lu found the stone on the shelf funny and was dumbfounded when he saw it. "I saw it a few days ago and it was still transparent. How come it has become like this now?"

"It has turned into a gray stone. "Big Ya."

Ah Yin: "I told you about Da Ya. My brother said that when the weather is hot, this stone will turn into dust if left in the sun for a long time. It will be fine after it is burned."

The stone that was burned at his home yesterday is in the fire today. After being exposed to the sun for a long time, it was still very translucent. My brother was very happy. Ah Yin knew that this stone was a window. If there are windows, the house will definitely have them in the future.

"...I gave it all to you, and you don't need to pay it back." Daya threw the bag of stones over.

Ah Yin received it easily and said, "Let's go over there when the weather gets cold."

"Call me."

"I know."

Ah Yin had already run to deliver stones to his brother. My brother found it useful after burning it, and I will definitely get it again.

This spring, the orcs of the Leopard Man tribe did not go hunting. They cultivated fields. Zhuo Yan brought back a lot of seeds last year. Potatoes were to be planted on both sides of the river. There was no place, so they could only extend inward and draw fields for farming. Those closer to the river are planted with millet, mung beans, and peanuts, while those further inside and outside are planted with potatoes.

Because the tribe still had visitors to exchange salt, Zhuo Yan also set aside main roads and field paths when planning the fields, and used soil to make ridges to divide the fields.

The kiln firing is also going on at the same time. Every year some pottery is added, and there are a few extra pieces in each hole. This year, practical pots, pots, large bowls, and spoons were fired.

In fact, everyone in the tribe is already familiar with planting and making pottery. If there is anything they don't know, Qiao and Aman can also answer it. Everyone knows that Zhuo Yan has been working on transparent stones recently - even the clan leader knows about it.

"Let Zhuo Yan think about that." The clan leader said.

Someone said: "That transparent stone is just beautiful, but of no use."

The uncle said: "In the past, Zhuoyan made pottery, wooden doors, salt, including potatoes, but no one saw its use before they were made. It must be useful."

"Uncle Patriarch, I'm not talking about Zhuo Yan. I was just curious about its use. I asked Zhuo Yan and he said he couldn't explain it."

"Then you can wait until Zhuo Yan makes it. Got it." The patriarch said.

"Okay." He was so curious that he went to ask Big Ya Tou about the transparent stone they brought back.

After half a month of repeated experiments, heating it at high temperature, rolling it softly, and kneading it into the desired shape, this method didn't work because I didn't have the technical tools. The second method is the same as for making pottery, but it is divided into two parts: grinding the transparent stone into powder and adding water to bake it, and grinding it into powder and adding water to bake it again after burning.

Fortunately, Ah Yin brought him an unburned transparent stone from Daya.

There are also experiments such as the proportion of water added, the temperature and duration of firing, drying in the sun, and whether the fired pottery can replace pottery.

The optimal conclusion is: grind it into powder in the initial state. According to the ratio of 1:2:0.5, mix one bowl of transparent stone powder, two bowls of water, and half a bowl of dry yellow mud powder together. The state will be like the texture of yogurt, with a light texture. Brown, pour into molds.

Don't burn for too long. The temperature of the kiln is about 800 to 1,000 degrees. If you burn it around seven o'clock in the morning, you can burn the kiln twice at noon. This time is about two to three hours.

The finished product is very beautiful.

Xiao Xian and others also said that it was strange. It was obviously light yellow when it was sent in to be burned, but it came out green.

Yes, the first piece of 'glass' successfully fired in the prehistoric orc world exuded a light green color.

"Transparent stones are actually colored. When we just passed there, there were many, many such stones, superimposed on top of each other. At first glance, we thought they were turquoise lake water. When taken out individually, they were so translucent that the color was almost invisible."

But with Huang When the soil is mixed together, the green appears, that light green glass.

The experiment failed several times, and in the end, only a square piece of glass was fired, which was about the size of a palm and about the thickness of a palm. Because it was used as windows for later houses, the glass Zhuoyan fired was thicker. Even though it was so thick, the glass was still Can see the scenery clearly.

Translucency is OK.

After being exposed to natural sunlight for a day, this piece of glass did not turn gray or crack. We need to wait for the summer to experiment again, and we have to wait for the severe cold in winter to see.

Zhuo Yan carefully put away the piece of glass.

"Afterwards, after summer and winter, if it is still so complete, wear-resistant, heat-insulating and cold-proofing, then it will be a success."

The sub-orcs all heard Zhuo Yan's words. They didn't understand what this piece of glass could do, but it looked like, It is of great use. They believe in Zhuo Yan.

As for using it as a stove like pottery, that won't work. After it's burned, it can't be heated on an open fire, as it will crack easily. If it is fired in the kiln for too long, it will be deformed and soft, and it will not take shape at all. Even if it is mixed with loess, it will still be soft.

Theoretically, it can be made into transparent bowls and cups by burning it for two or three hours just like glass. Knead the soil into a mold, leave a gap in the middle, and invert the mold to bake. Because it is in the liquid state of yogurt, the resulting vessels will be green and transparent. Can be served cold.

It can be done, but it is too complicated - after it is fired, the clay mold must be slowly peeled off, which is equivalent to saying that the clay mold is disposable, but there is a lot of clay and a lot of time, but now the transparent stone raw material is gone.

Just have to wait until next time.

The spring work started too early this year, and the work was completed in more than half a month. The weather has just gotten hotter, but they haven't planted grape seeds and ramie seeds yet because they have no place. Finally, Zhuo Yan made a circle around the tribe. Their tribe's specific area of ​​​​living in the river area is actually not very large.

Finally, the ramie seeds were scattered on the grassland where they went to play on the hill before. The orcs patrolled here from time to time, so they could drive away the grazing horn sheep and watch them.

As for the vines, Zhuo Yan felt that there was a high probability that they would not survive - the winter snowstorm was really not suitable for them to survive the winter, so he planted them casually next to the vegetable garden at the foot of the cave entrance of his home.

When all this is done, spring is not over yet, because the orcs did not go hunting this year. Everyone is working on farming and sub-orcs making pottery. Even when it comes to cultivating ramie seed fields, the orcs are the first to cultivate it, and the sub-orcs sow the seeds.

It was fast and efficient. After the work was done, the orcs were happy and asked: "It must be no more work, right?", "I can't hear it anymore.", "Just wait for the weather to be hot and salty.", "This year is over. Morning." "I still have meat in my cave, so I won't go hunting for now."

The orcs don't want to hunt at this time, and the sub-orcs are also busy. They hit it off and everyone understands it, so the whole tribe is warm. Yangyang exudes a mysterious atmosphere.

Everyone is in heat. Including Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian was a little upset and impetuous when talking the past two days. He has a bad temper, but he won't lose his temper with others. However, even the grass on the roadside will be picked up twice by Xiao Xian, and he will pick it up when passing by the river. The pebbles were thrown to the river, breaking the tranquility of the river, and then groaned.

I don't know what it is to be angry.

An old man from Oman said: "Our Xiaoxian has grown up too."

Xiaoxian has become an adult.

After the activity was over, everyone agreed not to play anymore. Qiao and Ada returned to the cave to 'retreat'. Zhuo Yan: Cough cough cough.

I've really been feeling a little hot and irritable lately.

So this morning, there were only A Man and Xiao Xian by the river. Qiao was not there, the stone was about to hatch eggs, Zhuo Yange and A Yin were in the cave and did not come out. Xiao Xian gathered up a handful of grass and threw it into the river.

"...If you feel uncomfortable, find an orc." Aman sat by the river, picked up a stone and played with it.

Xiao Xian turned his head and asked, "You have been an adult for several years, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"The first year of adulthood was the most uncomfortable. I'm used to it now." Aman said.

Xiao Xian puffed up his cheeks, "Then I will get used to it."

"...Why don't you look for the orcs? That's strange."

"Why don't you look for them?"

Aman said nothing. After a while, Aman said: "Zhuo Yan is right, Shi Shi is indeed smart, it's not a loss after mating with Boss Kong for so long. If I had known, I would also mate with Da En."

Xiao Xian whimpered, "I thought you were used to it, but I didn't expect you, A Man. He's also in heat. Are you thinking about the orc from the tiger tribe?

"It's not like you haven't seen him before. His name is Dahn. Have you forgotten his name in just one winter?"

"It doesn't matter whether I remember it or not. Aman didn't expect you to still think about Dan. I want to tell Brother Zhuo Yan to go -"

Aman grabbed Xiao Xian and really wanted to tell Zhuo Yan anything. He said: "You If you run to Zhuo Yan now, you will see the gossip between Zhuo Yan and A Yin. According to Zhuo Yan, go ahead and go. "

"...How can I go about it?" Xiao Xian. Stomping your feet.

Aman: "You also know that you will be beaten by Zhuo Yan."

"He will definitely rub my ears."

In the entire tribe, there are only single and idle sub-orcs wandering around with nothing to do, such as Aman Xiaoxian by the river, and others who come out to patrol Mahar - Mahar was distraught and was ridiculed by the orcs that he had no mate, so he ran away to patrol.

At this time, Maha saw two sub-orcs by the river. He could tell at a glance that they were Aman and Xiaoxian. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but stepped forward to say hello.

"You two, are you uncomfortable being in heat here?"

Aman: ...

Xiao Xian curled his lips.

Maybe the cold attitude of the two people irritated Maha - Maha considered himself the strongest orc in the entire tribe. He was the one who chose the sub-orcs. How could the sub-orcs look down on him? !

So Maha stood there and said in a loud voice: "You two, do you really think I will fall in love with you? Haha, there are no orcs in the entire tribe who have mates. The strongest and most suitable one for me is actually a stone. But he ran away At the Feathered Market, he mated with a peacock and actually laid an egg. I'm here to find you. You tell him that if Shitou is smart and throws the broken egg, he comes to my cave and I won't dislike him. "

The Lion Tribe came in at this time - of course, Huo Xia, who was patrolling, discovered the Lion Tribe's salt exchange team. Although he was surprised to come so early, he still brought people in.

The patriarch said that he would be welcomed warmly and politely.

On the back of the lion-man orc in the front row, there was a wilted peacock nestled on the back. The peacock was already dying - after a bumpy journey, he was still nestled on the rattan basket where the lion-man exchanged salt. It was originally a peacock. He won't do it even if he's dead, he's not a commodity!

Kong Xingxing was very noble, but the lion-man orc ran away for a few days. The noble Kong Xingxing lowered his head. He was afraid that the lion-man orc would deliberately take off before he could see the big guy in the leopard tribe, and he would fall to the ground and be trampled to death. .

Damn it, these lion-man orcs must have done it on purpose, just to throw them off. Kong Huo and others all thought so.

But they didn't doubt it. The lion-man orc did find these male peacocks too annoying, but he didn't want to trample them to death. He just wanted to replace these peacocks with other orcs. He couldn't stand it anymore.

And now, when the wilted Peacock Clan Chief Kong Xingxing heard the orc talking about stones, he spread his wings and took off almost instantly, gliding and landing... four meters away from Maha.

Kong Xingxing: ...Damn it, he forgot that he is not good at fighting now.

In fact, the fighting power of the Peacock clan is... not good at all, there is no such thing.

Xiao Xian Aman looked at the thing that landed on the ground, the tail, the feathers, the color. Xiao Xian rubbed his eyes and said, "Am I right? Is it Boss Kong?"

"Wow!" Aman saw the lion-man orc behind him. , then looked at the peacock on the ground, and suddenly understood, "Kong Xingxing, why are you here? That's great, the eggs laid on the stone haven't hatched yet, it's up to you feathered people to hatch them."

"I'll go . It's called Shitou." Xiao Xian ran quickly, shouting: "Stone, Shitou, Boss Kong is here to hatch the eggs -"

Kong Xingxing was confused again.

Hatching, hatching eggs? The stone laid an egg? ?
